Another solution is proposed by Christian Heimes: "implement __int__ and __float__ on timedelta objects: int(timedelta) -> seconds, float(timedelta) -> seconds.micros". This solution only answer to the need "conversion to seconds" (which is the most common case). To get week, you would have to write: int(dt) / (3600*24*7) which feels me less natural (pythonic?) than: dt // timedelta(days=7) -- Victor Stinner aka haypo http://www.haypocalc.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
