How can convert user expired days in human readable ?

[Murat USTUNTAS]

   Danny Pansters write me the following message to conver time in
   python language:
%python
Python 2.2.3 (#1, Jun  5 2003, 12:59:25)
[GCC 3.2.2 [FreeBSD] 20030205 (release)] on freebsd5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import time
>>> time.ctime(1064005200)
      

'Fri Sep 19 23:00:00 2003'

This what you need?

--Dan

Thank you all for your answers.. :)

     Within the master.passwd, the time is stored in seconds since the
     Epoch, and there are standard C and POSIX functions for converting
     this into any format you want.  I don't know much about python, but
     within Perl you can use strftime() to convert the date.  You would
     do something similar to:
     strftime("%D", localtime($unixtime))
     where $unixtime is assigned to the value you pulled from the
     master.passwd file.
     The %D simply returns a MM/DD/YY format date.
     Check to see if Python has similar functions... they are POSIX
     compliant.

     Hello all,
     On my system, some users have expire day user settings. I write a
     (python) script
     then parse the: 7.th selection in the master.passwd
     blabla:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:1064005200:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
     How can I conver the number like 1064005200 to human readable date
     format ?
     Or, there is a way to collect the information from a command
     interactively ?
