Ah, it wasn't clear that there are really only days, seconds, and microseconds in a timedelta. &nbsp;There's no need to worry about the hours and minutes.<br />
Thanks.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have two datetime.datetime objects. &nbsp;When I take the difference between them I get a timedelta object.<br />
<br />
When I print the timedelta object, it prints as hh:mm:ss:ms<br />
<br />
I would like to convert the timedelta to simply the total number of seconds and print that, however timedelta does not have the strftime capability.<br />
<br />
How do I convert the timedelta to simply the total number of seconds?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Python printing a timedelta as seconds

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.

Python

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
