Converting a floating point number (seconds) to a string (date)

I am attempting to convert a floating point number, in this case seconds, into a YYMMDDHHMM format. I have tried numerous ways only to either get an error dealing with the fact that I haven't properly converted the float OR that when I have completed the conversion it is not in UTC/GMT time. This occured when I tried to use the function "ctime". When I inputted 0 for s when using ctime it printed a time 6 hours before Jan 1st, 1970.

Here's what I have that's missing the conversion:

import time

s = 1226368439.04

#conversion of some sort here

print time.strftime(s)

Any assistance would be wonderful.

Try this one

import time

t = 1226368439.04

time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S', time.localtime(t))

20081111072359

time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S', time.gmtime(t))

'20081111015359'
