Hello,
what is the best /easest way how to get number of hours and minutes
from a timedelta object?
Let's say we have
aa=datetime.datetime(2006, 7, 29, 16, 13, 56, 609000)
bb=datetime.datetime(2006, 8, 3, 17, 59, 36, 46000)
so
c=bb-aa
will be
datetime.timedelta(5, 6339, 437000)
I can easily get days ( c.days)
but
I still can not figure out how easily to get hours and minutes
Any idea?
Thank you for help

Lad enlightened us with:
How can I find days and minutes difference between two datetime
objects?
For example If I have
b=datetime.datetime(2006, 8, 2, 8, 57, 28, 687000)
a=datetime.datetime(2006, 8, 1, 18, 19, 45, 765000)
diff = b - a
Ok, I tried
>diff=b-a diff
datetime.timedelta(0, 52662, 922000)
>diff.min
datetime.timedelta(-999999999)
Reread the manual:
1. "min" is minIMUM, not minUTES
2. You need:
>>diff.days
0
>>diff.seconds
52662
>>diff.microseconds
922000
>>minutes = (diff.seconds + diff.microseconds / 1000000.0) / 60.0 minutes

I suspect what Lad wanted was something more like:
>>def secs_mins_hours(timed):
.... total_secs = timed.seconds
.... secs = total_secs % 60
.... total_mins = total_secs / 60
.... mins = total_mins % 60
.... hours = total_mins / 60
.... return (secs, mins, hours)
>>aa=datetime.datetime(2006, 7, 29, 16, 13, 56, 609000) bb=datetime.datetime(2006, 8, 3, 17, 59, 36, 46000) td = aa - bb secs_mins_hours(td)
(39, 45, 1)
I'm surprised that the timedelta class hasn't got secs, mins and hours
properties - they could be generated on the fly in a similar way.

I suspect what Lad wanted was something more like:
1. If that's what he wanted, it was a very peculiar way of asking. Do
you suspect that he needs to be shown how to conver 877.7... minutes
into hours, minutes and seconds???
2. Please consider that the order of the result would be more
conventionally presented as (hours, minutes, seconds) -- or do you
suspect that the OP needs it presented bassackwards?

Chill dude, It wasn't an attack :-)
The datetime class has hour, minute and second attributes that give the
values of each as being in range(24) (hours) and range(60). i.e.
integers. So an educated guess leads me to the conclusion that it is
similar functionality that he wants from the timedelta class.
2. Please consider that the order of the result would be more

Very good point. That would have been a tricky issue for the OP, and
for that I apologise.

I think that you have that last word muddled. Not quite ass-backward,
but close ;-)

On the contrary. It means "ass-backward, and then some". Google
"dictionary bassackwards" and read the first few hits.
