[K12OSN] OT: scripting help

[Vern Ceder]

Assuming that value is a datetime object, which it looks like, you could 
do something like this:

return (value + timedelta(hours=4)).strftime('%Y%m%dT%H%M%S')

depending on how it's imported, you might need to use datetime.timedelta 
instead of timedelta...

Cheers,
Vern Ceder
