Def convert_time(time):
"""split hours from minutes"
Time = raw_input("enter a time, in military: ")
If hours > 12
 Hours = hours - 12
 Am_or_pm = "p.m."
Output_hours = hours
Output_minutes = minutes
Output_hours = ""
Else:
 Am_or_pm = "a.m."

This sounds like a homework assignment. We will help with homework but 
we won't do it for you.

Do you know how to write a function? What is the time format? Where does

the input come from? What have you tried so far?
