Format timedelta to string

Question

I\'m having trouble formatting a datetime.timedelta object.

Here\'s what I\'m trying to do: I have a list of objects and one of the members of the cl

Answer 1

>>> str(datetime.timedelta(hours=10.56))
10:33:36

>>> td = datetime.timedelta(hours=10.505) # any timedelta object
>>> ':'.join(str(td).split(':')[:2])
10:30

Passing the timedelta object to the str() function calls the same formatting code used if we simply type print td. Since you don't want the seconds, we can split the string by colons (3 parts) and put it back together with only the first 2 parts.
