Re-inserting data

[Daley, MarkX]

The only problem with that is I don't have any control over whether or not
tuples are used.  I am using SQL to query data from a server and this is the
format it uses to return the data.  Worse yet, the tuples are not strictly
strings, but dates and numbers, also.  I am trying to pull a date from each
tuple, convert it, and return it to the tuple before it gets written to a
file.  Any ideas?

Oh, I guess you are having trouble changing the elements because they
are tuples.  Try using lists instead.  Then you can do things like

for item in times:
    time2 = item[-1]
    time2 = munged_time (time2)
    item[-1] = time2
