Answer 1

from datetime import timedelta
from babel.dates import format_timedelta
delta = timedelta(days=6)
format_timedelta(delta, locale='en_US')
u'1 week'

This will format your interval according to a given locale. I guess it is better, because it will always use the official format for your locale.

Oh, and it has a granularity parameter. (I hope I could understand your question...)
