I was astounded just now to discover that datetime.timedelta doesn't
have a replace() method (at least not in Python 2.7). Is there some
fundamental reason why it shouldn't, or is this just an oversight?
My immediate use case was wanting to print a timedelta without the
fractions of seconds. The most straight-forward is:
print td.replace(microseconds=0)
but that doesn't work. Yes, I know I can use strftime, but (as I've
mentioned before :-)), that requires dragging up the reference page to
figure out what grotty little format string I need. The brute-force
print timedelta(seconds=int(td.total_seconds()))
is easier than that, but plain old replace() would be even easier.
datetime.timedelta doesn't have a strftime method either.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
