Wrap tests with fixtures in freeze_time

• Freeze time in both the test and fixtures
• Access the freezer when you need it

You can install "pytest-freezegun" via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install pytest-freezegun

All the features can be seen in this example:

@pytest.fixture
def current_date():
    return datetime.now().date()

@pytest.mark.freeze_time('2017-05-21')
def test_current_date(current_date):
    assert current_date == date(2017, 5, 21)

@pytest.mark.freeze_time
def test_changing_date(current_date, freezer):
    freezer.move_to('2017-05-20')
    assert current_date == date(2017, 5, 20)
    freezer.move_to('2017-05-21')
    assert current_date == date(2017, 5, 21)

def test_not_using_marker(freezer):
    now = datetime.now()
    time.sleep(1)
    later = datetime.now()
    assert now == later

Contributions are very welcome. Tests can be run with tox. You can later check coverage with coverage combine && coverage html. Please try to keep coverage at least the same before you submit a pull request.
