Look at the pytz and datetime modules. I'm no Python guru, but the
following appears to do the job:
##################
#!/usr/bin/python
from datetime import datetime
import pytz
utc_date = datetime(2008, 04, 3, 10, 00, 00, tzinfo=pytz.utc)
local_date = utc_date.astimezone(pytz.timezone('Europe/London'))
if local_date.dst().seconds != 0:
print "Date is DST"
###################
This assumes that the input dates are always in UTC. If the input dates
are local, or mixed, it will give accurate results except for datetimes
that fall within the few hours of the clocks changing.
