the reduce is actually 69 *and only one line* if you don't need it in a
function. You can't put the dhms2 in a function unless you want to leak a
bunch of variables like 'd', 'r', and 't'...
reduce(lambda a, b: a[:-1] + [a[-1]%b, a[-1]//b], [[t], 60, 60, 24])

the 3600 and 3600*24 was what I was trying to avoid. I like the divmod
solution. You can also use it in the reduce :)
reduce(lambda a, b: divmod(a[0], b) + a[1:], [(t,), 60, 60, 24])[::-1]

P.S. I'm not sure why you had been using floating point

no, this wasn't necessary, I didn't know about "//". I could have used int
as well...
