I don't think you can do time-based stuff in a Python script in Zope. 
On p. 153 of the Zope Book, it outlines the fairly tight restrictions 
on what you can import into Python from inside Zope and the time 
stuff is not listed.

You _can_ do this with an External Method, assuming you have proper 
access rights to the outside-Zope portion of your server.
