Hi, I am learning Python and want to perform what I think is a very simple task: calculating the difference between two dates in seconds. Reading through the documentation I am puzzled: I can't find a way to do this without doing manually what I think belongs to a standard library method.
Please tell me there is a simpler way than subtracting two datetimes to get a timedelta and then compute days * number of seconds per day + seconds from it myself?? Put in other words - I find it puzzling that timedelta exposes its internal representation (the instance attributes days and seconds) but not ways to get the difference in arbitrary units. What am I missing? Thanks, Claes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
