Yeah, I got this part. The thing that's hanging me up is that there
doesn't seem to be any way to get a tzinfo instance that contains the
current local time zone information. You can do time.timezone to get
the seconds from UTC, but there doesn't seem to be any way to convert
that into a

Surely there is a way to simply print out the local time, date and time zone

Here's why I don't believe it. Both the datetime and time
But this doesn't help, because then you still don't know whether it's
dst or not. You then would have to jump through whatever convolutions
to do that calculation.
All I want to know is the *current* offset between local time and
utc. I know the system has this information already; it
OK, here's a function that does precisely what I want:
def tzDelta():
by whatever means necessary, return the current offset of the
local time from utc.
s=time.time()
t,u=time.localtime(s),time.gmtime(s)
osec=3600*(t[3]-u[3]) + 60*(t[4]-u[4]) + (t[5]-u[5])
return

There is pytz [1] which should provide a simpler way to manage
timezone info in python.
