# MyTime class.
#
# This class is a wrapper around time.time()  and time.gmtime(). When
# performing unit test, it is very useful to get a fixed value from these
# functions.
# Thus, time.time() and time.gmtime() should never be called directly.
# This wrapper should be called instead. The API are equivalent.
