Comment:

 It's a best practice to put as much logic as possible into your build
 scripts.  So if your build or test process needs the current time, then
 the script that runs your tests should determine the current time, for
 example with the `date` command in shell, or with `time.time()` in Python.

 Where do you want to call a Python function -- on the master, or on the
 slave?

 Yes, you can pass properties to steps using Property or Interpolate.
