If you don't have to worry about more than 24 hours you could use
strftime:
import time
def fmt(t):
return time.strftime("%H:%M:%S",
time.gmtime(t/1000)) + ',%03d' % (t%1000)
print fmt(185804)
If you do, then much as you had it but using a format string and floor
division:
def fmt(t):
SEC = 1000
MIN = SEC * 60
HOUR = MIN*60
return "%02d:%02d:%02d,%03d" % (
t//HOUR,
(t%HOUR)//MIN,
(t%MIN)//SEC,
t%SEC)
Why did you write a function which returns a string normally and a
number when it failed? Use an exception to indicate an error condition,
not a number which you'll forget to check for.
