Use time.strptime to format a string representing a time and then convert it back to the desired format using time.strftime:

>>> time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", time.strptime("0100", "%H%M"))
'01:00:00'
>>> time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", time.strptime("0130", "%H%M"))
'01:30:00'
>>> time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", time.strptime("2130", "%H%M"))
'21:30:00'
