I was astounded just now to discover that datetime.timedelta doesn't have a replace() method (at least not in Python 2.7). Is there some fundamental reason why it shouldn't, or is this just an oversight?
My immediate use case was wanting to print a timedelta without the fractions of seconds. The most straight-forward is: print td.replace(microseconds=0) but that doesn't work. Yes, I know I can use strftime, but (as I've mentioned before :-)), that requires dragging up the reference page to figure out what grotty little format string I need. The brute-force print timedelta(seconds=int(td.total_seconds())) is easier than that, but plain old replace() would be even easier. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
