Why does datetime.timedelta only have the attributes 'days' and 'seconds'?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

With Python 3.9.2 I get

  $ import datetime
  $ s = "1-00:01:01"
  $ t = datetime.datetime.strptime(s, "%d-%H:%M:%S")
  $ d = datetime.timedelta(days=t.day, hours=t.hour, minutes=t.minute, seconds=t.second)
  $ d.days
  1
  $ d.seconds
  61
  $ d.minutes
  AttributeError: 'datetime.timedelta' object has no attribute 'minutes'

Is there a particular reason why there are no attributes 'minutes' and
'hours and the attribute 'seconds' encompasses is the entire fractional
day?

Cheers,

Loris
