Hello group,

I'm currently doing something like this:

import time
localtime = time.localtime(1234567890)
fmttime = "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d" % (localtime[0], localtime[1], localtime[2], localtime[3], localtime[4], localtime[5])
print fmttime

For the third line there is, I suppose, some awesome python magic I could use with list comprehensions. I tried:

fmttime = "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d" % ([localtime[i] for i in range(0, 5)])

But that didn't work:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test.py", line 8, in ?
fmttime = "%04d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d" % ([localtime[i] for i in range(0, 5)])
TypeError: int argument required

As it appearently passed the while list [2009, 02, 14, 0, 31, 30] as the first parameter which is supposed to be substituted by "%04d". Is there some other way of doing it?

Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Johannes
