Hi,
timedelta handling always felt cumbersome to me:
from datetime import timedelta
short_period = timedelta(seconds=10)
long_period = timedelta(hours=4, seconds=37)
Today, I came across this one https://github.com/lxc/lxd/pull/1471/files
and I found the creation of a 10 seconds timeout extremely intuitive.
Would this represent a valuable addition to Python?
from datetime import second, hour
short period = 10*second
long_period = 4*hour + 37*second
Best,
Sven
