Sorry for the bad assumption. But the thread "Caught out by daylight
saving :-(" on the python-list was very similar, differing mainly by
the fact he's incrementing by 5 minutes instead of 1.
Did my suggested function replacements work for you? They did here.

This is the second post I've seen on this homework assignment. ?You might
look at the Python List for other ideas.
mktime() and gmtime() are not inverses of each other. ?The first assumes
local time, and the latter gmt (or utc). ?So unless you happen to be in
England, and not in daylight savings time, you'd expect a problem.
mktime() is documented as the inverse of localtime(), according to the docs.
?I'd assume they'd both make the same time adjustments for your location.
?However, there's some ambiguity if the time you're looking at is in
standard time, while you're currently in daylight savings. ?So I'd look for
an answer that only used UTC (or Greenwich Mean time).
Try time.gmtime(), and calendar.timegm()
