Hi,

Actually there is a query parameter (ctz="TIMEZONE") that you can use to
specify the desired timezone for returned datetime data.

This is an example of setting ctz with python client library -

query = gdata.calendar.service.CalendarEventQuery(username, visibility,
projection)
query.ctz = 'UTC' // specifying all datetime data to returned with timezone
== UTC

Hope it helps,
Austin
