Python summing up time

Question

In python how do I sum up the following time?

 0:00:00
 0:00:15
 9:30:56

Answer 1

Using timedeltas (tested in Python 3.4):

import datetime

timeList = ['0:00:00', '0:00:15', '9:30:56']
sum = datetime.timedelta()
for i in timeList:
    (h, m, s) = i.split(':')
    d = datetime.timedelta(hours=int(h), minutes=int(m), seconds=int(s))
    sum += d
print(str(sum))

Result:

9:31:11
