我接着MarredCheese的回答，加上了年、月、毫秒和微秒

除秒外，所有数字都被格式化为整数，因此秒的分数可以自定义。

@kfmfe04要求几分之一秒，所以我发布了这个解决方案

大体上有一些例子。

from string import Formatter
from datetime import timedelta

def strfdelta(tdelta, fmt='{D:02}d {H:02}h {M:02}m {S:02.0f}s', inputtype='timedelta'):
    """Convert a datetime.timedelta object or a regular number to a custom-
    formatted string, just like the stftime() method does for datetime.datetime
    objects.

    The fmt argument allows custom formatting to be specified.  Fields can 
    include seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks.  Each field is optional.

    Some examples:
        '{D:02}d {H:02}h {M:02}m {S:02.0f}s' --> '05d 08h 04m 02s' (default)
        '{W}w {D}d {H}:{M:02}:{S:02.0f}'     --> '4w 5d 8:04:02'
        '{D:2}d {H:2}:{M:02}:{S:02.0f}'      --> ' 5d  8:04:02'
        '{H}h {S:.0f}s'                       --> '72h 800s'

    The inputtype argument allows tdelta to be a regular number instead of the  
    default, which is a datetime.timedelta object.  Valid inputtype strings: 
        's', 'seconds', 
        'm', 'minutes', 
        'h', 'hours', 
        'd', 'days', 
        'w', 'weeks'
    """

    # Convert tdelta to integer seconds.
    if inputtype == 'timedelta':
        remainder = tdelta.total_seconds()
    elif inputtype in ['s', 'seconds']:
        remainder = float(tdelta)
    elif inputtype in ['m', 'minutes']:
        remainder = float(tdelta)*60
    elif inputtype in ['h', 'hours']:
        remainder = float(tdelta)*3600
    elif inputtype in ['d', 'days']:
        remainder = float(tdelta)*86400
    elif inputtype in ['w', 'weeks']:
        remainder = float(tdelta)*604800

    f = Formatter()
    desired_fields = [field_tuple[1] for field_tuple in f.parse(fmt)]
    possible_fields = ('Y','m','W', 'D', 'H', 'M', 'S', 'mS', 'µS')
    constants = {'Y':86400*365.24,'m': 86400*30.44 ,'W': 604800, 'D': 86400, 'H': 3600, 'M': 60, 'S': 1, 'mS': 1/pow(10,3) , 'µS':1/pow(10,6)}
    values = {}
    for field in possible_fields:
        if field in desired_fields and field in constants:
            Quotient, remainder = divmod(remainder, constants[field])
            values[field] = int(Quotient) if field != 'S' else Quotient + remainder
    return f.format(fmt, **values)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    td = timedelta(days=717, hours=3, minutes=5, seconds=8, microseconds=3549)
    print(strfdelta(td,'{Y} years {m} months {W} weeks {D} days {H:02}:{M:02}:{S:02}'))  
    print(strfdelta(td,'{m} months {W} weeks {D} days {H:02}:{M:02}:{S:02.4f}'))  
    td = timedelta( seconds=8, microseconds=8549)
    print(strfdelta(td,'{S} seconds {mS} milliseconds {µS} microseconds'))  
    print(strfdelta(td,'{S:.0f} seconds {mS} milliseconds {µS} microseconds'))  
    print(strfdelta(pow(10,7),inputtype='s'))

输出:

1 years 11 months 2 weeks 3 days 01:09:56.00354900211096
23 months 2 weeks 3 days 00:12:20.0035
8.008549 seconds 8 milliseconds 549 microseconds
8 seconds 8 milliseconds 549 microseconds
115d 17h 46m 40s

from django.utils.translation import ngettext

def localize_timedelta(delta):
    ret = []
    num_years = int(delta.days / 365)
    if num_years > 0:
        delta -= timedelta(days=num_years * 365)
        ret.append(ngettext('%d year', '%d years', num_years) % num_years)

    if delta.days > 0:
        ret.append(ngettext('%d day', '%d days', delta.days) % delta.days)

    num_hours = int(delta.seconds / 3600)
    if num_hours > 0:
        delta -= timedelta(hours=num_hours)
        ret.append(ngettext('%d hour', '%d hours', num_hours) % num_hours)

    num_minutes = int(delta.seconds / 60)
    if num_minutes > 0:
        ret.append(ngettext('%d minute', '%d minutes', num_minutes) % num_minutes)

    return ' '.join(ret)

这将产生:

>>> from datetime import timedelta
>>> localize_timedelta(timedelta(days=3660, minutes=500))
'10 years 10 days 8 hours 20 minutes'

请检查这个函数-它将timedelta对象转换为字符串'HH:MM:SS'

def format_timedelta(td):
    hours, remainder = divmod(td.total_seconds(), 3600)
    minutes, seconds = divmod(remainder, 60)
    hours, minutes, seconds = int(hours), int(minutes), int(seconds)
    if hours < 10:
        hours = '0%s' % int(hours)
    if minutes < 10:
        minutes = '0%s' % minutes
    if seconds < 10:
        seconds = '0%s' % seconds
    return '%s:%s:%s' % (hours, minutes, seconds)

我在工作中遇到过类似的加班计算输出问题。该值应该始终以HH:MM显示，即使它大于一天并且该值可能为负值。我结合了一些展示的解决方案，也许其他人会发现这个解决方案很有用。我意识到，如果timedelta值为负，大多数divmod方法所显示的解决方案都不能开箱即用:

def td2HHMMstr(td):
  '''Convert timedelta objects to a HH:MM string with (+/-) sign'''
  if td < datetime.timedelta(seconds=0):
    sign='-'
    td = -td
  else:
    sign = ''
  tdhours, rem = divmod(td.total_seconds(), 3600)
  tdminutes, rem = divmod(rem, 60)
  tdstr = '{}{:}:{:02d}'.format(sign, int(tdhours), int(tdminutes))
  return tdstr

timedelta to HH:MM

td2HHMMstr(datetime.timedelta(hours=1, minutes=45))
'1:54'

td2HHMMstr(datetime.timedelta(days=2, hours=3, minutes=2))
'51:02'

td2HHMMstr(datetime.timedelta(hours=-3, minutes=-2))
'-3:02'

td2HHMMstr(datetime.timedelta(days=-35, hours=-3, minutes=-2))
'-843:02'

针对这个问题的一个直接的模板过滤器。内置函数int()从不四舍五入。f - string(即f'')需要python 3.6。

@app_template_filter()
def diffTime(end, start):
    diff = (end - start).total_seconds()
    d = int(diff / 86400)
    h = int((diff - (d * 86400)) / 3600)
    m = int((diff - (d * 86400 + h * 3600)) / 60)
    s = int((diff - (d * 86400 + h * 3600 + m *60)))
    if d > 0:
        fdiff = f'{d}d {h}h {m}m {s}s'
    elif h > 0:
        fdiff = f'{h}h {m}m {s}s'
    elif m > 0:
        fdiff = f'{m}m {s}s'
    else:
        fdiff = f'{s}s'
    return fdiff

Timedelta到字符串，用于打印运行时间信息。

def strfdelta_round(tdelta, round_period='second'):
  """timedelta to string,  use for measure running time
  attend period from days downto smaller period, round to minimum period
  omit zero value period  
  """
  period_names = ('day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second', 'millisecond')
  if round_period not in period_names:
    raise Exception(f'round_period "{round_period}" invalid, should be one of {",".join(period_names)}')
  period_seconds = (86400, 3600, 60, 1, 1/pow(10,3))
  period_desc = ('days', 'hours', 'mins', 'secs', 'msecs')
  round_i = period_names.index(round_period)
  
  s = ''
  remainder = tdelta.total_seconds()
  for i in range(len(period_names)):
    q, remainder = divmod(remainder, period_seconds[i])
    if int(q)>0:
      if not len(s)==0:
        s += ' '
      s += f'{q:.0f} {period_desc[i]}'
    if i==round_i:
      break
    if i==round_i+1:
      s += f'{remainder} {period_desc[round_i]}'
      break
    
  return s

例如，自动省略零前导周期:

>>> td = timedelta(days=0, hours=2, minutes=5, seconds=8, microseconds=3549)
>>> strfdelta_round(td, 'second')
'2 hours 5 mins 8 secs'

或者省略中间的零周期:

>>> td = timedelta(days=2, hours=0, minutes=5, seconds=8, microseconds=3549)
>>> strfdelta_round(td, 'millisecond')
'2 days 5 mins 8 secs 3 msecs'

或舍入至分钟，省略以下分钟:

>>> td = timedelta(days=1, hours=2, minutes=5, seconds=8, microseconds=3549)
>>> strfdelta_round(td, 'minute')
'1 days 2 hours 5 mins'
