You'd probably be helped by divmod:
>>> help(divmod)
Help on built-in function divmod in module __builtin__:
divmod(...)
divmod(x, y) -> (div, mod)
Return the tuple ((x-x%y)/y, x%y). Invariant: div*y + mod == x.
>>> def humanize(milli):
sec, milli = divmod(milli, 1000)
min, sec = divmod(sec, 60)
hour, min = divmod(min, 60)
day, hour = divmod(hour, 24)
week, day = divmod(day, 7)
print week, "weeks,", day, "days,", hour, "hours,", \
min, "minutes,", sec, "seconds, and", \
milli, "milliseconds"
return (week, day, hour, min, sec, milli)
>>> humanize(1234567890)
2 weeks, 0 days, 6 hours, 56 minutes, 7 seconds, and 890 milliseconds
(2, 0, 6, 56, 7, 890)
>>> humanize(694861001.1) #Also works with floats!
1.0 weeks, 1.0 days, 1.0 hours, 1.0 minutes, 1.0 seconds, and
1.10000002384 milliseconds
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.1000000238418579)
