我的datetime。Timedelta对象的时间大于一天。这是一个更深层次的问题。以上所有讨论都假设时间不超过一天。timedelta实际上是一个由日、秒和微秒组成的元组。上面的讨论应该使用td。秒，因为乔做了，但如果你有天，它不包括在秒值。

我得到2个日期时间和打印天和小时之间的时间跨度。

span = currentdt - previousdt
print '%d,%d\n' % (span.days,span.seconds/3600)

您可以使用str()将timedelta转换为字符串。这里有一个例子:

import datetime
start = datetime.datetime(2009,2,10,14,00)
end   = datetime.datetime(2009,2,10,16,00)
delta = end-start
print(str(delta))
# prints 2:00:00

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()。

我个人使用humanize库:

>>> import datetime
>>> humanize.naturalday(datetime.datetime.now())
'today'
>>> humanize.naturalday(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1))
'yesterday'
>>> humanize.naturalday(datetime.date(2007, 6, 5))
'Jun 05'
>>> humanize.naturaldate(datetime.date(2007, 6, 5))
'Jun 05 2007'
>>> humanize.naturaltime(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(seconds=1))
'a second ago'
>>> humanize.naturaltime(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(seconds=3600))
'an hour ago'

当然，它并没有给您所寻找的确切答案(实际上是str(timeA - timeB)，但我发现，一旦超过几个小时，显示很快就变得不可读了。Humanize支持更大的值，这些值是人类可读的，而且本地化得很好。

它的灵感来自于Django的贡献。humanize模块，显然，既然你在使用Django，你应该使用它。

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'
