Python: What date/time is it in NYC? (without pytz)
<p>In Python, I want a Python program to be able to determine the current date and time in NYC . Is that practical?  While  datetime.datetime.now() can tell me the local time, and datetime.utcnow() can tell me the UTC (GMT). However just looking at the difference will not help me as DST changes.</p>

<p>I try things like "dt=datetime.now() " and "dt.timetuple()"
I get tm_isdst=-1 even if I change the computer date. </p>

<p>I change my computer clock from a January date to a July date. I still get tm_isdst=-1</p>

<p>Why not use pytz? I want the users to not have to go thru the step of downloading an extra library.</p>
