That's an argument that timedelta should *not* have a 'days' attribute, because a day is not a fixed number of seconds long (to know how long a day is, you have to know which day you're talking about, and where). It's an undocumented feature of timedelta that by 'day' it means '86400 seconds'. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
