Additionally, it seems like this could be said for other primitive datatypes as well:

Don't be silly. Why on earth would that argument represent minutes?
It's days, for consistency with `timedelta(100)`.
Still best to be explicit:
--> sleep(timedelta(100))
It would be awesome if that actually worked.
You just weren't explicit enough:
--> sleep(timedelta(100).total_seconds())
This is drifting pretty far from the topic at hand, though.
There was a topic at hand? Oh, yeah, keyword arguments! Actually, it's very apropos: each of those examples would have been either obviously correct or obviously wrong if the parameter names had been used. -- ~Ethan~
