You might try fixing up the following. I did not match the scale to what you
are looking for. But the trick is to take advantage of the time module's association
of numbers with dates:
import time
import random
""" Sample output
Wed Apr 29 14:35:58 1992
Thu Jun 24 12:04:15 1971
Fri Oct 7 01:29:28 1994
Wed Mar 23 10:33:14 1994
Sun Apr 12 12:17:56 1998
Wed May 12 06:41:33 1971
Mon Jun 15 09:15:31 1998

Fri Apr 28 00:55:57 1972
Fri Mar 26 00:43:12 2010
"""
def re_scale():
now=float(time.time())
early=1000000.
rang=(now-early)
return time.ctime((random.random())*rang+early)
for i in range(10):
print re_scale()
