How do I convert datetime timedelta to minutes hours in Python

Question

I get a start date like this   from django utils timezone import utc import datetime  start date   datetime datetime utcnow   replace tzinfo utc  end date   datetime datetime utcnow   replace tzinfo utc  duration   end date - start date   I get output like this   datetime timedelta 0  5  41038    How do I convert this into normal time like the following   10 minutes  1 hour like this

A datetime timedelta corresponds to the difference between two dates  not a date itself   It s only expressed in terms of days  seconds  and microseconds  since larger time units like months and years don t decompose cleanly  is 30 days 1 month or 0 9677 months     If you want to convert a timedelta into hours and minutes  you can use the total seconds   method to get the total number of seconds and then do some math   x   datetime timedelta 1  5  41038     Interval of 1 day and 5 41038 seconds secs   x total seconds   hours   int secs   3600  minutes   int secs   60    60

There s no built-in formatter for timedelta objects  but it s pretty easy to do it yourself   days  seconds   duration days  duration seconds hours   days   24   seconds    3600 minutes    seconds   3600     60 seconds   seconds   60   Or  equivalently  if you re in Python 2 7  or 3 2    seconds   duration total seconds   hours   seconds    3600 minutes    seconds   3600     60 seconds   seconds   60   Now you can print it however you want       minutes     hours  format minutes  hours    For example   def convert timedelta duration       days  seconds   duration days  duration seconds     hours   days   24   seconds    3600     minutes    seconds   3600     60     seconds    seconds   60      return hours  minutes  seconds td   datetime timedelta 2  7743  12345  hours  minutes  seconds   convert timedelta td  print     minutes     hours  format minutes  hours    This will print   9 minutes  50 hours   If you want to get  10 minutes  1 hour  instead of  10 minutes  1 hours   you need to do that manually too   print     minute       hour    format minutes   s  if minutes    1 else                                           hours   s  if minutes    1 else       Or you may want to write an english plural function to do the  s  bits for you  instead of repeating yourself   From your comments  it sounds like you actually want to keep the days separate  That s even easier   def convert timedelta duration       days  seconds   duration days  duration seconds     hours   seconds    3600     minutes    seconds   3600     60     seconds    seconds   60      return days  hours  minutes  seconds   If you want to convert this to a single value to store in a database  then convert that single value back to format it  do this   def dhms to seconds days  hours  minutes  seconds       return    days   24    hours    60   minutes    60   seconds  def seconds to dhms seconds       days   seconds     3600   24      hours    seconds    3600    24     minutes    seconds    60    60     seconds   seconds   60     return days  hours  minutes  seconds   So  putting it together   def store timedelta in database thingy  duration       seconds   dhms to seconds  convert timedelta duration       db execute  INSERT INTO foo  thingy  duration  VALUES                         thingy  seconds      db commit    def print timedelta from database thingy       cur   db execute  SELECT duration FROM foo WHERE thingy       thingy      seconds   int cur fetchone   0       days  hours  minutes  seconds   seconds to dhms seconds      print     took    minutes     hours     days  format thingy  minutes  hours  days

I don t think it s a good idea to caculate yourself    If you just want a pretty output  just covert it into str with str   function or directly print   it   And if there s further usage of the hours and minutes  you can parse it to datetime object use datetime strptime   and extract the time part with datetime time   mehtod   for example   import datetime  delta   datetime timedelta seconds 10000  time obj   datetime datetime strptime str delta    H  M  S   time

I defined own helper function to convert timedelta object to  HH MM SS  format - only hours  minutes and seconds  without changing hours to days   def format timedelta td       hours  remainder   divmod td total seconds    3600      minutes  seconds   divmod remainder  60      hours  minutes  seconds   int hours   int minutes   int seconds      if hours  lt  10          hours    0 s    int hours      if minutes  lt  10          minutes    0 s    minutes     if seconds  lt  10          seconds    0 s    seconds     return   s  s  s     hours  minutes  seconds

Just use strftime     Something like that   my date   datetime datetime 2013  1  7  10  31  34  243366  tzinfo  lt UTC gt   print my date strftime   Y   d  B        After edited your question to format timedelta  you could use   def timedelta tuple timedelta object      return timedelta object days  timedelta object seconds  3600   timedelta object seconds  60  60

Do you want to print the date in that format  This is the Python documentation  http   docs python org 2 library datetime html strftime-strptime-behavior   gt  gt  gt  a   datetime datetime 2013  1  7  10  31  34  243366   gt  gt  gt  print a strftime   Y  d  B   M  S p    gt  gt  gt  2013 07 January  31 34AM   For the timedelta    gt  gt  gt  a    datetime timedelta 0 5 41038   gt  gt  gt  print   s seconds   s microseconds     a seconds  a microseconds    But please notice  you should make sure it has the related value  For the above cases  it doesn t have the hours and minute values  and you should calculate from the seconds

There is no need for custom helper functions if all we need is to print the string of the form  D day s     H H MM SS  UUUUUU   timedelta object supports str   operation that will do this  It works even in Python 2 6    gt  gt  gt  from datetime import timedelta  gt  gt  gt  timedelta seconds 90136  datetime timedelta 1  3736   gt  gt  gt  str timedelta seconds 90136    1 day  1 02 16

Another alternative for this  older  question    import datetime import pytz import time  pacific pytz timezone  US Pacific   now datetime datetime now     pacific dst now  total seconds   yields 3600 secs   aka 1 hour  time strftime   -H   time gmtime pacific dst now  total seconds      1    The above is a good way to tell if your current time zone is actually in daylight savings time or not   It provides an offset of 0 or 1   Anyway  the real work is being done by time strftime   H  M  S   time gmtime 36901   which does work on the output of gmtime      gt  gt  gt  time strftime   H  M  S  time gmtime 36901      secs   36901  10 15 01    And  that s it   NOTE  Here s a link to format specifiers for time strftime
