Well, I'm getting closer, but still no cigar: def secsToHMS(seconds): """ Convert seconds to hours:minutes:seconds, with seconds rounded to hundredths of a second """ #hours, minutes = 0, 0 minutes, seconds = divmod(seconds, 60) hours, minutes = divmod(minutes, 60) return "%02d:%02d:%5.2f" % (hours, minutes, seconds) print secsToHMS(4.04987) This prints 00:00: 4.05 not 00:00:04.05 Dick _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
