Leap
Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is. 1900 is not a leap year, but 2000 is.
If your language provides a method in the standard library that does this look-up, pretend it doesn't exist and implement it yourself.
Notes
Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to learn!

Submitting Exercises
Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure the solution is in the exercism/python/<exerciseName> directory.
For example, if you're submitting bob.py for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/python/bob/bob.py.
For more detailed information about running tests, code style and linting, please see the help page.
