| I'm proposing some small enhancements to the datetime module: Add a totimestamp() method to datetime.datetime that returns the seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00:00. The datetime class has already a fromtimestamp() factory but is missing a totimestamp() method. Add a __int__() and __float__() method to datetime.timedelta which return the seconds (seconds + 86400 * days) as int and seconds + miliseconds as float. It would save some typing if somebody needs an integer representation of a timedelta object :] The datetime module is implemented in C. I've never written a Python C extension so I can't help with a patch. Thx |

| The patch confuses microseconds with milliseconds. The divisor in delta_float should be 1000000.0, not 1000.0. The result of the last test should be 86401.000001, not 86401.001. |

| Here is a new patch. I've updated the documentation and enhanced the compare function to compare with ints, longs and floats. This part of the patch should be complete. I'm going to submit a different patch for the other features later. Shall I start a new tracker entry? File Added: timedelta_intfloat.diff |

| tiran, having timedelta objects comparable with numbers is going a bit too far. You end up with: timedelta(0, 1) == 1 but hash(timedelta(0, 1)) != hash(1) This breaks dictionaries. |

| Seems like it is safe to close this patch. If you need a timedelta in seconds it isn't that much work to write td.days*86400+td.seconds to convert it to an int. Converting it to a float doesn't seem useful enough. |

| Agreed. (A separate patch can be submitted for totimestamp().) |

| Oh, I didn't know that hash() *AND* == are used in dictionaries. Well, you are the experts and I'm just a noob. :) I'm going to remove the compare part from my patch. I still like to get int(td) and float(td) into Python. I find it very useful. |
