The solutions above will work if you re looking to convert a single value for  quot seconds since midnight quot  on a date to a datetime object or a string with HH MM SS  but I landed on this page because I wanted to do this on a whole dataframe column in pandas  If anyone else is wondering how to do this for more than a single value at a time  what ended up working for me was   mydate  2015-03-01   df  datetime     datetime datetime mydate                         pandas to timedelta df  seconds since midnight     s

If you need to get datetime time value  you can use this trick   my time    datetime 1970 1 1    timedelta seconds my seconds   time     You cannot add timedelta to time  but can add it to datetime   UPD  Yet another variation of the same technique   my time    datetime fromordinal 1    timedelta seconds my seconds   time     Instead of 1 you can use any number greater than 0  Here we use the fact that datetime fromordinal will always return datetime object with time component being zero

The following set worked for me     def sec to hours seconds       a str seconds  3600      b str  seconds 3600   60      c str  seconds 3600  60      d      hours    mins    seconds  format a  b  c       return d   print sec to hours 10000       2 hours 46 mins 40 seconds    print sec to hours 60 60 24 105       24 hours 1 mins 45 seconds

I can hardly name that an easy way  at least I can t remember the syntax   but it is possible to use time strftime  which gives more control over formatting     from time import strftime from time import gmtime  strftime   H  M  S   gmtime 666    00 11 06   strftime   H  M  S   gmtime 60 60 24    00 00 00    gmtime is used to convert seconds to special tuple format that strftime   requires      Note  Truncates after 23 59 59

By using the divmod   function  which does only a single division to produce both the quotient and the remainder  you can have the result very quickly with only two mathematical operations   m  s   divmod seconds  60  h  m   divmod m  60    And then use string formatting to convert the result into your desired output   print    d    02d    02d   format h  m  s     Python 3 print f  h d   m 02d   s 02d      Python 3 6

dateutil relativedelta is convenient if you need to access hours  minutes and seconds as floats as well  datetime timedelta does not provide a similar interface   from dateutil relativedelta import relativedelta rt   relativedelta seconds 5440  print rt seconds  print    02d    02d    02d   format      int rt hours   int rt minutes   int rt seconds      Prints  40 0 01 30 40
