Tennessee, are you still tracking this issue? If not, can I steal it from you. :)

Hi Mark,

Please feel free to steal it from me! Wonderful to see some movement on this issue...

I found out that timedelta % int is not supported in the released versions while timedelta // int is.

Mmm. Interesting. :)

I think it would be fine to add timedelta % timedelta in this patch, and then open another feature request for timedelta % int and friends as you suggest. I don't think divmod(timedelta, timedelta) should go in if timedelta % timedelta doesn't also go in.

I'm an incrementalist -- I'm happy with one step at a time, so for what it's worth I'd be happy to see divmod go in alone with % to be added later. However, seeing as I'm really contributing, I'd say feel free to disregard my vote of +1... :)

Regards, -Tennessee
