To me, td1/td2 is more obvious that float(td1)/float(td2).
float(td) involves an arbitrary choice, to return time in *seconds*
(rather than days, or milliseconds, or ...); I think this violates
EIBTI. To me, the obvious and easy-to-read way to get the number
of seconds is to do the division:
seconds_in_td = td1 / timedelta(seconds = 1)
