Formatting Time

[Ognjen Bezanov]

I never thought id need help with such a thing as time formatting
(admittadly i never did it before) but ok, i guess there is a first for
everything.

I have a float variable representing seconds, and i want to format it
like this:

0:00:00 (h:mm:ss)

Now search as I might i am finding this quite elusive, i had a look at
the time module but that seems overly complicated for this. Anyone got
any simple solutions to doing this? cheers!

Hi,

Does this work? (not well tested)

i=12009 # Number of seconds
res=[]
# d h, m
for d in [24*60*60, 60*60, 60]:
res.append("%02d" % (i/d))
i=i%d
res.append("%02d" % i)
print ":".join(res)
# --> 00:03:20:09 (d:h:m:s)
