I suspect what Lad wanted was something more like: >>> def secs_mins_hours(timed): ... total_secs = timed.seconds ... secs = total_secs % 60 ... total_mins = total_secs / 60 ... mins = total_mins % 60 ... hours = total_mins / 60 ... return (secs, mins, hours) >>> aa=datetime.datetime(2006, 7, 29, 16, 13, 56, 609000) >>> bb=datetime.datetime(2006, 8, 3, 17, 59, 36, 46000) >>> td = aa - bb >>> secs_mins_hours(td) (39, 45, 1) I'm surprised that the timedelta class hasn't got secs, mins and hours properties - they could be generated on the fly in a similar way. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
