Random Date Simulation with Time Freezing

This function uses the Freezegun library to freeze time and generates a random time point within a specified range, then performs some operations during this frozen time.

Technology Stack : Freezegun, datetime, random

    end_date = datetime.strptime(arg2, '%Y-%m-%d')
    random_date = start_date + (end_date - start_date) * random.random()
    frozen_time = freeze_time(random_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))

    frozen_time.start()
