Yes, that's where it was decided that the datetime module was fine that way it is and must not be changed.
could you give me some pointers to that discussion?
i found some discussion about interpretation as intervals [1], casting numbers to intervals [2] and vice versa (plus discussion of connection to unix timestamps) [3], and arithmetics of time/datetime and timedelta [4], on which i agree that those are problematic (some of those also touch the problem of time zones). nevertheless, i fail to see such problems when dividing timedeltas -- after all, `delta2 / 5 == delta1` works, so why should not `delta2 / delta1 == 5`?
