Description: python-libfaketime: fast date/time mocking
        ==========================================
        
        python-libfaketime is a wrapper of `libfaketime <https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime>`__ for python.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            import datetime
        
            from libfaketime import fake_time, reexec_if_needed
        
            # libfaketime needs to be preloaded by the dynamic linker.
            # This will exec the same command, but with the proper environment variables set.
            # Or you can skip running this and manually manage your env (see get_reload_information()).
            reexec_if_needed()
        
            def get_tomorrow():
                return datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(days=1)
        
        
            @fake_time('2014-01-01 00:00:00')
            def test_get_tomorrow():
                assert get_tomorrow() == datetime.date(2014, 1, 2)
         
        
        It serves as a fast drop-in replacement for `freezegun <https://github.com/spulec/freezegun>`__.
        Here's the output of a `totally unscientific benchmark <https://github.com/simon-weber/python-libfaketime/blob/master/benchmark.py>`__ on my laptop::
        
            $ python benchmark.py
            re-exec with libfaketime dependencies
            timing 1000 executions of <class 'libfaketime.fake_time'>
            0.021755 seconds
        
            $ python benchmark.py freezegun
            timing 1000 executions of <function freeze_time at 0x10aaa1140>
            6.561472 seconds
        
        
        Some brief details:
        
        * linux and osx
        * microsecond resolution
        * accepts datetimes and strings that can be parsed by dateutil
        * not threadsafe
