Sorry, I guess my question was why I can't use something similar to
below on exe_time (of type datetime.timedelta)? Rather than
doing string
manipulation on decimals or colons to extract the same.
now = datetime.now()
print now.hour
print now.minute
print now.year
Old style
print('%02d:%02d:%04d' % (now.hour, now.minute, now.year))
New style
print('{}:{}:{}'.format(now.__hour, now.minute, now.year))
Sorry I can never remember the formatting types to go between {} so
look for them around here

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask

That works for;
now = datetime.now()
but not for;
exe_time = endTime-startTime
Thanks,
Jignesh
You'll have to do the sums yourself based on the data for timedelta here
http://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#timedelta-objects,
alternatively download a third party module such as
http://labix.org/python-dateutil.
