Hi,
why don't you just parse the returned string?
asdf = '3:04:02.994000'
asdf = asdf.split(':')
temp = asdf[-1].split('.')
print asdf
asdf.pop(-1)
print asdf
asdf.extend(temp)
print asdf
asdf = [int(i) for i in asdf]
print asdf
hrs,mins,secs,usecs = asdf
That should work, and you can always transform this into some common
unit, e.g. seconds etc.
Hope it helps,
Daniel
