I don't know how much support this will get since there is already a str(timedelta) operation defined with a different format. But I don't like that format much. The day[s] part is too verbose, the H:MM:SS part could too easily be interpreted as D:HH:MM, and the result for negative deltas is horrible (-43 days, 23:59:55; see Issue 38701). My favourite format for a duration is usually the HTML 5 format like 1w 0d 12h 0m 27s Another option is ISO 8601 format: P1W0DT12H0M27S But both of these standards only go down to the seconds unit, so 50 ms has to be 0.05s or PT0.05S. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41254> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
