One of the great things about python is that if you don't see what is
happening by just reading the code, you can play with the code in the
interactive interpreter:


>>>import time
>>>mytime = time.localtime()
>>>mytime
(2003, 7, 27, 10, 54, 38, 6, 208, 1)
>>>help(time.localtime)
Help on built-in function localtime:

localtime(...)
    localtime([seconds]) -> 
(tm_year,tm_mon,tm_day,tm_hour,tm_min,tm_sec,tm_wday,tm_yday,tm_isdst)

    Convert seconds since the Epoch to a time tuple expressing local time.
    When 'seconds' is not passed in, convert the current time instead.

>>>number = mytime[4]
>>>number
54


Plus, the online documentation is some of the best around:
