I don't think you wrap the timestamps with a timedelta.

The difference between two datetime.datetime objects is automatically a 
datetime.timedelta.  I think you need
db(db.InternalMessage.bottleneck_resolve_date == 
None).update(bottleneck_delay_time 
= ((request.now) -  db.InternalMessage.created_on).total_seconds()/3660)
