You know, one benefit of having user-settable sleep() and time() functions is that you can mock them easily, and therefore check that sched.py really schedules callables at the right intervals.

Yes, it would allow you to check that if you have e.g. : - A scheduled in 1 s - B scheduled in 3 s sched.py first sleeps for 1 s, then calls A, then sleeps for 2 s, then calls B Twisted has a full-blown utility class that they use in many tests, allowing them to mock time.time(): http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/10.0.0/api/twisted.internet.task.Clock.html You probably don't need something as sophisticated, the idea of a class with advance() and time() methods is probably enough.
