Convert Seconds to datetime timedelta [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• How do I convert seconds to hours, minutes and seconds? 10 answers

In python how can I simply convert an integer of seconds into (h:m:s) using the datetime module?

i.e. 500000 ---> 138:53:20

Please, no tuple hackery.

Maybe this answer from SO will do:

>>> import datetime
>>> str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=500000))
'5 days, 18:53:20'
