Trent Nelson added the comment:

Here's a thought...  why not alter the test to work with fixed times and 
separate the atime tests from the mtime tests.

For atime, we can set utime(filename, (0.0, ...)) and see if a subsequent 
os.stat() returns st_atime as 0.0 -- that'll tell us whether or not atime is 
affected.

For the mtime tests, rather than having a variable UTIME_EPSILON, just have 
fixed dates that match the expected precision of the underlying platform?
