No no no, it's customary to annoy everyone on the list by asking the question *without* consulting the documentation, and then to be told to Read The Fine Manual. To be serious for a moment, if you're in the interactive interpreter, you can get some useful information by calling help(datetime.timedelta). -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
