Max int:

import sys
sys.maxint

As for max long, there is none for python (see here).

Current time:

import time
time.time()

Midnight time:

import time
import datetime
midnight = datetime.datetime.combine(datetime.date.today(), datetime.time.min)
midnightSec=time.mktime(midnight.timetuple()) #midnight this morning
lastMidnightSec-=86400 #midnight yesterday morning (there are 86400 seconds in a day)
