Python's timedelta: can't I just get in whatever time unit I want the value of the entire difference?

Question

I am trying to have some clever dates since a post has been made on my site (\"seconds since, hours since, weeks since, etc..\") and I\'m using datetime.timedelta difference

Answer 1

It seems that Python 2.7 has introduced a total_seconds() method, which is what you were looking for, I believe!
