Hi Lad,

you could do this:

 >>> a = datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 24, 16, 1, 26)
 >>> b = datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 20, 12, 1, 26)
 >>> a-b
datetime.timedelta(4)
# 4 days

 >>> b = datetime.datetime(2006, 5, 20, 12, 1, 26)
 >>> x = a-b
 >>> x
datetime.timedelta(4, 14400)
 >>> str(x)
'4 days, 4:00:00'
