   I cannot say for Win or OS2...

   On all unicies your program MUST run under superuser priviledges (under
root account or be setuid root) - and even there all you can do is actually

import os
os.system("/bin/date '%s'" % date_time_string)

   But Python is good to calculate date_time_string :)
