Hello guys, I've an application where, for testing, I need to replace the time.time() call with a specific timestamp, I've done that in the past using ruby

(code available here: http://github.com/zemariamm/Back-to-Future/blob/master/back_to_future.rb )

However I do not know how to do this using Python.

Any hints ? Cheers, Ze Maria
