Is there a date-format data type in Python ?. I browsed the docs
and couldn't find one. Or is there a class for that ?.

Anyway, it seems that the more straightforwars way to go would
be to write a small python function that converts a string "hh:mm:ss"
into a floating point. It should be doable in a few lines
of code.

A little fancier would be a date class, with conversion methods.
But may be that is overkill depending on what you need.

Hope this helps,
