>>> import datetime
>>> old_tuple = (
... datetime.datetime(2007, 8, 1),
... datetime.datetime(2007, 8, 2),
... 1,
... 2.0,
... 3.0,
... 4
... )
>>> first_date = old_tuple[0].strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
>>> second_date = old_tuple[1].strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
>>> new_tuple = (first_date, second_date) + old_tuple[2:]
>>> print '\t'.join(str(i) for i in new_tuple)
2007-08-01 2007-08-02 1 2.0 3.0 4
