That's OK if one can always guarantee the 6 digits after the decimal  
point; else a bit more work is required:

py> timestr = "00:00:25.886"
py> h, m, s = timestr.split(":")
py> if '.' in s:
...   s, us = s.split('.')
...   us = us[:6].ljust(6, '0')
... else:
...   us = 0
...
py> datetime.time(int(h), int(m), int(s), int(us))
datetime.time(0, 0, 25, 886000)
