I am getting a hard time trying to do some BDD with c-based datetime because I cannot mock it easily to force datetime.datetime.now() to return a desired value, making almost impossible to test time-based code, like the accounting system that I am refactoring right now.

It's usually better to use a central helper get_current_time() in the application, than to use datetime.now() and others directly.
