Here's as far as I can go with this. The last line of output asks the question I need an answer for. (Once again my direct post to tutor@python.org has failed to appear here (sent 5:42 PDT), as before.) # Using datetime to do date-time math on a file date-time stamp and # the creating the new stamp import datetime def adjust_ftime(atime, sec):     # yyyymmdd_hhmmss, seconds in, new yyyymmdd_hhmmss out     ts = atime[1:-7]      # use time stamp portion     ayear   = int(ts[0:4])     amonth  = int(ts[4:6])     aday    = int(ts[6:8])     ahour   = int(ts[9:11])     aminute = int(ts[11:13])     asecond = int(ts[13:15])     print ayear, amonth, aday, asecond     dt1 = datetime.datetime(ayear, amonth, aday, ahour, aminute, asecond)     print dt1, type(dt1)     delta = datetime.timedelta(seconds = 200)     dt2 = dt1 + delta     print dt2, type(dt2)     print "what next? I need the result 20080321_113405"     new_fstamp = "zippo"     return (new_fstamp)    filename = 'v20080321_113045.27.txt'    print adjust_ftime(filename, 2.3) Results: 2008 3 21 45 2008-03-21 11:30:45 <type 'datetime.datetime'> 2008-03-21 11:34:05 <type 'datetime.datetime'> what next?
