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.
