And one of the nice things about Python, as well as having lots of
useful stuff built in, much of the useful stuff is itself written in
Python making it very easy to look under the hood and see what is going
on. Here is the implementation of calendar.isleap():
def isleap(year):
"""Return 1 for leap years, 0 for non-leap years."""
return year % 4 == 0 and (year % 100 != 0 or year % 400 == 0)
