[Python-Dev] datetime.timedelta total_microseconds

[Richard Belleville]

Sorry for the slow response.

Timedelta division is quite a nice solution to the problem. However, since
we're maintaining a python version agnostic library at least until 2020, we
need a solution that works in python 2 as well.

For the moment, we've left the code as in the original snippet.
