I think so.
FWIW, I'd recommend looking at:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil
...for doing things that python's builtin datetime stuff doesn't cater
for.

Hi George,
I haven't looked at your patch but that fact that there are no unit
tests and you talk about copying and pasting code, I'd suggest this
might not be a good patch.
Refactor so code is only in one place rather than copying and

Hi Chris,
I know copy-pasted sounds horrible--perhaps I should have said 'modeled
afterwards'(better marketing;). The thing is, the datetime time
classes share a lot of common functionality; it is inevitable that some
code looks like
George Boutsioukis [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
I have also come across this in the past. Although I sense that some
obscure reason might prevent time arithmetic from being included, here's
a patch to add time/timedelta addition and subtraction. It closely
follows the datetime arithmetic

time(9,0)-time(8,0)
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'datetime.time' and

I'd expect a datetime.timedelta(0,3600)
