OMG, this is ugly! Conversion to string and reparse the formatted text :-/ 
Your code doesn't work with different units than hours, minutes or seconds:

['4 days, 1', '32', '01']
>>> str(timedelta(hours=1, minutes=32, seconds=1, microseconds=2)).split(":")
['1', '32', '01.000002']

How? I don't understand your suggestion.

The goal of the new operators (timedelta / timedelta, divmod(timedelta, 
timedelta), etc.) is to avoid the use of the timedelta "internals" (days, 
seconds and microseconds attributes) and give a new "natural" way to process 
time deltas.
