i found something interesting during the timedate difference calculation import datetime import time
def main(): mydatetime = datetime.datetime.now() time.sleep(1) mydatetime2 = datetime.datetime.now() diff = mydatetime - mydatetime2 print(diff) if __name__ == '__main__': main() if you run this code the result you get will be -1 day, 23:59:59 at least that is what i'm getting. i was expecting to get -1 second. diff object is of type timedelta. this kind of objects represent duration, at least that is what i understood from the documentation ( http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.3/library/datetime.html#timedelta-objects). so, is this a bug in the timedelta implementation or is it me not understanding documentation properly? any help is appreciated. ps. i'm using python 3.1 on a windows xp machine.
