Thanks! So now I have def secsToHMS(seconds): """ Convert seconds to hours:minutes:seconds, with seconds rounded to hundredths of a second, and print """ hours, minutes = 0, 0 if seconds >= 60 and seconds < 3600: minutes, seconds = divmod(seconds, 60) elif seconds >= 3600: hours, seconds = divmod(seconds, 3600) minutes, seconds = divmod(seconds, 60) seconds = str(round(seconds,2)).split('.') print seconds print seconds[0] hundredths = seconds[1] print hundredths print "%02d:%02d:%02d.%02d" % (int(hours), int(minutes), int(seconds[0]), int(seconds[1])) secsToHMS(4789.3459876) Which prints 01:19:49.35 Any improvements in the function to suggest?
