[New-bugs-announce] [issue7531] datetime.timedelta doc has incorrect output

[John Gardner]

New submission from John Gardner <python.20.huxoll at spamgourmet.com>:

The output example for timedelta in datetime package has the wrong 
output for the supplied commands.

For example:
>>> ten_years, ten_years.days // 365
(datetime.timedelta(3650), 10)
should be:
>>> ten_years, ten_years.days 
(datetime.timedelta(3650), 3650)
(or perhaps, days changed to years.

It's very misleading to have these strange numbers as output.

Also, the comments to the right don't seem to be relevant.
