year is a Unicode string; so is the data in rawtime (BeautifulSoup
gives you Unicode, dammit). And here's the output:

2008 (OK, so the year is a year)
None (...but what's this?)

First - don't use module string anymore. Use e.g.
''.join(t)
Second, you can only join strings. but year is an integer. So convert it to
a string first:
t = timeinput.insert(2, str(year))

list.insert modifies the list in-place:
l = [1,2,3]
l.insert(2,4)
l
[1, 2, 4, 3]
It also returns None, which is what you're assigning to 't' and then
trying to join.
Replace your usage of 't' with 'timeinput' and it should work.

Yes, tm_year is converted to a unicode string elsewhere in the program.
