'06:20:20'
Which, alas, will lose any subsecond resolution

Oh yeah. I had tried it on a positive timedelta, which does give HH:MM:SS

Basically I used the datetime module and timedelta objects to calculate
a difference between two times. Now I'm trying to figure out how I make
that time delta a string HH:MM:SS to show elapsed time. I've spent tons
of time looking at the module's documentation but I'm not seeing how
