Tim Peters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Not a bug. Try (future - now).seconds instead so that the timedelta is positive. As explained in the docs, a negative timedelta is normalized so that only the .days attribute is negative, and, as the docs also say, "normalization of negative values may be surprising at first". The .seconds and .microseconds attributes are always non-negative.
>>> from datetime import datetime >>> now = datetime.today() >>> future = datetime.today() >>> (now - future).seconds 86390 >>> (future - now).seconds 9 >>> now - future datetime.timedelta(-1, 86390, 146000) # only .days is negative ---------- nosy: +tim_one _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
