Hi,

The problem is in the second line.

a = time.daylight()

The daylight is not a method in time module. It is clear here,
http://docs.python.org/2/library/time.html

Since it is not a method we cannot call it. It is just a integer variable .
It returns zero if DST timezone is not defined and returns non zero if
defined.

>>> import time
>>> a = time.daylight()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
>>> a = time.daylight
>>> a
0
>>> type(time.daylight)
<type 'int'>

Regards,
Krishnan

You left out the traceback that shows which line had the error. In this 
case, Krishnan could tell, but in other code snippets people post, it is 
not always so obvious. Post the whole trackeback with errors. It is 
printed for a reason ;-)
