Here's a quick twenty minute rewrite using the python bindings.  It's 
untested, but it should work.  It may need the latest patch on #6885, so 
that Program is a 'new-style' class that can be subclassed.  The Program 
class just hands you naive datetime.datetime() objects for starttime and 
endtime in local time, so you'll have to figure out how to convert them 
to UTC.  I don't know off hand, but I put a comment in the code where 
you should.
