No, this code doesn't work at all because there are two errors in it
(syntax error in line 2 and name error in line 4). So in the future
please copy&paste your code and don't retype it.

Currently, as you've noticed, you overwrite junk2 with each iteration.
You need to append junk2 (which represents one row) to an array:
import time
time_format = "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S"
datetime_IN = ['03/10/2010 02:00:00',
'03/10/2010 02:10:00',
'03/10/2010 02:20:00',
'03/10/2010 02:30:00']
datetime_NEW = []
for d in datetime_IN:
junk = time.strptime(d, time_format)
junk2 = [y for y in junk]
datetime_NEW.append(junk2)
You will notice that there is more information than you want in each
row and the items are not in the order you've specified. So you
probably want to construct each row manually in the order you need:
datetime_NEW = []
for d in datetime_IN:
d = time.strptime(d, time_format)
datetime_NEW.append([d.tm_mon, d.tm_mday, d.tm_year,
d.tm_hour, d.tm_min, d.tm_sec])
