按照上面Joe的示例值，我将使用模算术运算符，因此:

td = datetime.timedelta(hours=10.56)
td_str = "%d:%d" % (td.seconds/3600, td.seconds%3600/60)

注意，Python中的整数除法默认是四舍五入;如果想要更显式，可以适当使用math.floor()或math.ceil()。

>>> 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

将timedelta对象传递给str()函数调用的格式化代码与输入print td相同。因为你不想要秒，我们可以用冒号分隔字符串(3部分)，然后只用前2部分把它重新组合在一起。

def seconds_to_time_left_string(total_seconds):
    s = int(total_seconds)
    years = s // 31104000
    if years > 1:
        return '%d years' % years
    s = s - (years * 31104000)
    months = s // 2592000
    if years == 1:
        r = 'one year'
        if months > 0:
            r += ' and %d months' % months
        return r
    if months > 1:
        return '%d months' % months
    s = s - (months * 2592000)
    days = s // 86400
    if months == 1:
        r = 'one month'
        if days > 0:
            r += ' and %d days' % days
        return r
    if days > 1:
        return '%d days' % days
    s = s - (days * 86400)
    hours = s // 3600
    if days == 1:
        r = 'one day'
        if hours > 0:
            r += ' and %d hours' % hours
        return r 
    s = s - (hours * 3600)
    minutes = s // 60
    seconds = s - (minutes * 60)
    if hours >= 6:
        return '%d hours' % hours
    if hours >= 1:
        r = '%d hours' % hours
        if hours == 1:
            r = 'one hour'
        if minutes > 0:
            r += ' and %d minutes' % minutes
        return r
    if minutes == 1:
        r = 'one minute'
        if seconds > 0:
            r += ' and %d seconds' % seconds
        return r
    if minutes == 0:
        return '%d seconds' % seconds
    if seconds == 0:
        return '%d minutes' % minutes
    return '%d minutes and %d seconds' % (minutes, seconds)

for i in range(10):
    print pow(8, i), seconds_to_time_left_string(pow(8, i))


Output:
1 1 seconds

512 8 minutes and 32 seconds

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'

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'
