Then restate your problem in terms of describing these strings. 
Apparently you don't get them from

str(time.localtime()), but from some redis methodology.

To convert most reasonable strings back to a date/time, you can probably use strftime.

But you certainly cannot reasonably use eval.  You're lucky it didn't work, so you didn't leave it that way.  Eval on data stored in some database?  You gotta be kidding.
