For this portion, you could quite simply: totalsecs = int(whatever) print '%02d:%02d' % divmod(totalsecs, 60) Or, depending on your leading zero requirements: totalsecs = int(whatever) print '%2d:%02d' % divmod(totalsecs, 60) --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
