def get_zone():
    dst = time.daylight and time.localtime().tm_isdst
    
    # get altzone if there exists dst otherwise
    # get timezone
    offset = time.altzone if dst else time.timezone
    
    # check if offset greater than 0
    westerly = offset > 0
    # get the minutes and seconds
    minutes, seconds = divmod(abs(offset), 60)
    hours, minutes = divmod(minutes, 60)
