formatted 'time' data in calculations

[Stephen Chapman]

Here is how I have done adjustments to time in the past.  This is mostly 
Date related but it may help

today = datetime.date.today()
wkdiff = datetime.timedelta(weeks=1)
daydiff = datetime.timedelta(days=1)
startdate=(today-wkdiff)-daydiff

this will subtract 1 week and 1 day from today.
