I found it fun to be able to write minutes(50) alongside with 50 * minutes so I
did that :
from datetime import date, time, datetime, timedelta
class CallableTimedelta(timedelta):
def __call__(self, x):
return self * x
seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, days, hours, minutes, weeks =
(CallableTimedelta(**{x:1}) for x in ('seconds', 'milliseconds',
'microseconds', 'days', 'hours', 'minutes', 'weeks'))
print(minutes(50) / seconds) # 3000.0
print(50 * minutes / seconds) # 3000.0
print(minutes(50).total_seconds()) # 3000.0

<paal.dra...@gmail.com<mailto:paal.dra...@gmail.com>>:
For closure, I've added a package, timeliterals
(env) [pgdr@hostname ~]$ pip install timeliterals
(env) [pgdr@hostname ~]$ python
>>> from timeliterals import *
>>> 3*hours
datetime.timedelta(0, 10800)
>>> 3*minutes
datetime.timedelta(0, 180)
>>> 3*seconds
datetime.timedelta(0, 3)
The source code is at https://github.com/pgdr/timeliterals
I'm not going to submit a patch to datetime at this time, but I will if people
would be interested.

i'd also be pretty simple to implement....
Just list:
minute = timedelta(minutes=1)
hour = timedelta(hours=1)
etc...
and you could import and use them like that. Or if you really want to
write 5*m, the just from datetime import minute as m
