def printTime(seconds):
hours = seconds / 3600
seconds = seconds - (hours * 3600)
minutes = seconds / 60
seconds = seconds - (minutes * 60)
print "%i:%s:%s" % (hours, str(minutes).zfill(2), str(seconds).zfill(2))
I am certainly no pro at python but this seems to do it for me. I am sure
someone could write it much more elegantly. I am still a little confused as
to how you have a float that represents seconds? This will only work if
'seconds' is an int ( al la ' 44342865') but maybe it could help you?
