How can convert user expired days in human readable ?

[Raymond T. Sundland]

Within the master.passwd, the time is stored in seconds since the Epoch, 
and there are standard C and POSIX functions for converting this into 
any format you want.  I don't know much about python, but within Perl 
you can use strftime() to convert the date.  You would do something 
similar to:

strftime("%D", localtime($unixtime))

where $unixtime is assigned to the value you pulled from the 
master.passwd file.

The %D simply returns a MM/DD/YY format date.

Check to see if Python has similar functions... they are POSIX compliant.
