[Tutor] How to convert seconds to hh:mm:ss format

[Prasad, Ramit]

>userName = raw_input("Enter your name ")
>     print "hi " + userName + ". \n "
>     seconds = input("Enter the number of seconds since midnight:")
>     hours = seconds/3600
>     hoursRemain = hours%60
>     minutes = hoursReamain/60
>     secondsRemain = minutes%60
>     print "hours: " + "minutes: " + "seconds"

I avoid any kind of manual date/time calculation unless I 
am forced to. Here is how I would do it:

>>> midnight = datetime.datetime.combine( datetime.date.today(), datetime.time() )
>>> seconds = datetime.timedelta( seconds=234 )
>>> time = midnight + seconds
>>> time.strftime( '%H:%M:%S' )
'00:03:54'
>>> time.strftime( 'Hours:%H minutes:%M seconds:%S' )
'Hours:00 minutes:03 seconds:54'
