Ah yes, good point, I forgot about this because IIRC it's not supported in Python 2.7, so it's not a particularly common idiom in polyglot library code. Obviously any new methods would be Python 3-only, so there's no benefit to adding them. Best, Paul On 2/14/19 1:12 PM, Alexander Belopolsky wrote:

I do. I was against adding the total_seconds() method to begin with because the same effect can be achieved with
delta / timedelta(seconds=1)
this is easily generalized to
delta / timedelta(X=1)
where X can be days, hours, minutes or microseconds.
