Have a look at datetime.timedelta: from datetime import timedelta seconds_value = 4237.63 td = timedelta(seconds=seconds_value) print td # Shows 1:10:37.630000 print td.seconds # Shows 4237 other_td = td + timedelta(seconds=13) print other_td # Shows 1:10:50.630000 print other_td.seconds # Shows 4250 > I think that there just has to be a package or module out there that > already does this with reasonable speed and accuracy. The accuracy seems perfect, don't know about speed - take some test :) Regards -- Faber http://faberbox.com/ http://smarking.com/ We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. -- Carl Sagan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
