You want to read about the "time" module:

 >>> t = (2004, 4, 21, 15, 33)
 >>> import time
 >>> time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:00', t+(0,0,0,0))
'2004-04-21T15:33:00'

I left the "T" in there as a literal because I don't know what you
meant it to be and there's no obvious single-character substitution.
