Additionally, which datatype would you expect them to be returned in?

One could argument for int or float (Decimal?),  both could be valid datatypes, depending on how exact you might want them, while the second is the time base of SI units.

I think because minutes and hours can easily be composed by multiplying
seconds. days is separate because you cannot compose days from seconds;
leap seconds are applied to days at various times, due to
irregularities in the Earth's rotation.

Hi,

With Python 3.9.2 I get

   $ import datetime
   $ s = "1-00:01:01"
   $ t = datetime.datetime.strptime(s, "%d-%H:%M:%S")
   $ d = datetime.timedelta(days=t.day, hours=t.hour,
minutes=t.minute, seconds=t.second)
   $ d.days
   1
   $ d.seconds
   61
   $ d.minutes
   AttributeError: 'datetime.timedelta' object has no attribute
'minutes'

Is there a particular reason why there are no attributes 'minutes'
and
'hours and the attribute 'seconds' encompasses is the entire
fractional
day?
That should read:
