[Python-Dev] datetime.timedelta total_microseconds

[Paul Ganssle]

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
