Your problem may be a little bit simpler to solve. When you do a
'import time' is looks first in the current directory; if it doesn't
find a module by that name, it searches the module path (I forgot the
name), which usually on Unix points to the lib subdirectory of your
Python installation. It appears that you own (broken) time.py module
is just getting the precedence over the standard one. If that's the
case, just removing your own time.py (or renaming it) should solve
your problem.
