The string formatting operators you have used ("%d:%d:%s") can be altered
with certain flags to give you the desired output.
The relevant documentation is
here<http://www.python.org/doc/2.1.3/lib/typesseq-strings.html>
The example near the top of the page shows how to pad the output with
leading zeros.
Good luck.
Ian.
