Not all that arcane. >From http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html : """ timedelta Objects A timedelta object represents a duration, the difference between two dates or times. [...] Attribute Value days Between -999999999 and 999999999 inclusive seconds Between 0 and 86399 inclusive microseconds Between 0 and 999999 inclusive """ The attribute you're looking for is 'microseconds', not 'milliseconds'.
