New submission from Serge Matveenko <se...@matveenko.ru>:
Negative `timedelta` string representation is ambiguous. ``` >>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta >>> d2 = datetime.now() >>> d1 = d2 - timedelta(days=42, seconds=5) >>> str(d2 - d1) '42 days, 0:00:05' >>> str(d1 - d2) '-43 days, 23:59:55' ``` I would expect `str(d1 - d2)` to be one of the following: * '-42 days, 0:00:05' * '-(42 days, 0:00:05)' * '- 42 days, 0:00:05' ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 356041 nosy: lig priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: datetime.timedelta string representation is ambiguous type: behavior versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38701> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
