Good form, old boy.

I think your code looks fine.  I like to do the following, just to be a
little more concise:

def is_leap_year(year):
    return year % 4 == 0 and (year % 100 != 0 or year % 400 == 0)

That is, the 'if' in your code is evaluating the statement into a
boolean.  Why not just return the results of that evaluation?
