Brian Quinlan <br...@sweetapp.com> added the comment: OK, a bit on motivation: 1. datetime.timedelta instances are a convenient way of representing durations 2. datetime.timedelta instances cannot be conveniently used in many calculations e.g. calculating distance based on velocity and time 3. datetime.timedelta instances cannot be conveniently used in many library functions e.g. time.sleep(), urllib2.urlopen(timeout=)
I propose to fix that by adding a timedelta.total_seconds attribute that equals: timedelta.days * 3600 * 24 + timedelta.seconds + timedelta.microseconds / 100000.0 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5788> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
