You are misunderstanding what timedelta is. It is a fixed-length period of time. It is stored as a number of (24x3600-second) days, seconds and microseconds. There is no "start date" or "end date", so the concept of leap seconds just does not apply. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1673409> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
