timezone

Hey

Is it possible with python to set the timezone just like this in php:

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/London");
$Year = date('y');
$Month = date('m');
$Day = date('d');
$Hour = date('H');
$Minute = date('i');

I can't really install any other modules etc as I'm using shared web hosting.

Any ideas?
