我想这样做，所以写了一个简单的函数。它对我来说非常有用，而且非常通用(支持年到微秒，以及任何粒度级别，例如，你可以选择“2天4小时48分钟”和“2天4小时”和“2天4.8小时”等。

def pretty_print_timedelta(t, max_components=None, max_decimal_places=2):
''' 
Print a pretty string for a timedelta. 
For example datetime.timedelta(days=2, seconds=17280) will be printed as '2 days, 4 hours, 48 minutes'. Setting max_components to e.g. 1 will change this to '2.2 days', where the 
number of decimal points can also be set. 
'''
time_scales = [timedelta(days=365), timedelta(days=1), timedelta(hours=1), timedelta(minutes=1), timedelta(seconds=1), timedelta(microseconds=1000), timedelta(microseconds=1)]
time_scale_names_dict = {timedelta(days=365): 'year',  
                         timedelta(days=1): 'day', 
                         timedelta(hours=1): 'hour', 
                         timedelta(minutes=1): 'minute', 
                         timedelta(seconds=1): 'second', 
                         timedelta(microseconds=1000): 'millisecond', 
                         timedelta(microseconds=1): 'microsecond'}
count = 0
txt = ''
first = True
for scale in time_scales:
    if t >= scale: 
        count += 1
        if count == max_components:
            n = t / scale
        else:
            n = int(t / scale)
            
        t -= n*scale
        
        n_txt = str(round(n, max_decimal_places))
        if n_txt[-2:]=='.0': n_txt = n_txt[:-2]
        txt += '{}{} {}{}'.format('' if first else ', ', n_txt, time_scale_names_dict[scale], 's' if n>1 else '', )
        if first:
            first = False
        
        
if len(txt) == 0: 
    txt = 'none'
return txt

我使用人类友好的python库来做这件事，它工作得非常好。

import humanfriendly
from datetime import timedelta
delta = timedelta(seconds = 321)
humanfriendly.format_timespan(delta)

'5 minutes and 21 seconds'

网址:https://pypi.org/project/humanfriendly/

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)

可能:

>>> import datetime
>>> dt0 = datetime.datetime(1,1,1)
>>> td = datetime.timedelta(minutes=34, hours=12, seconds=56)
>>> (dt0+td).strftime('%X')
'12:34:56'
>>> (dt0+td).strftime('%M:%S')
'34:56'
>>> (dt0+td).strftime('%H:%M')
'12:34'
>>>

一个班轮。由于timedelta不提供datetime的strftime，所以将timedelta带回datetime，并使用stftime。

这不仅可以实现OP要求的格式Hours:Minutes，现在您可以利用datetime的strftime的全部格式化功能，如果您的需求更改为另一种表示形式。

import datetime
td = datetime.timedelta(hours=2, minutes=10, seconds=5)
print(td)
print(datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.datetime.strptime(str(td), "%H:%M:%S"), "%H:%M"))

Output:
2:10:05
02:10

这也解决了时间增量被格式化为H:MM:SS而不是HH:MM:SS的字符串的烦恼，这导致了我的这个问题，以及我分享的解决方案。

我有一个函数:

def period(delta, pattern):
    d = {'d': delta.days}
    d['h'], rem = divmod(delta.seconds, 3600)
    d['m'], d['s'] = divmod(rem, 60)
    return pattern.format(**d)

例子:

>>> td = timedelta(seconds=123456789)
>>> period(td, "{d} days {h}:{m}:{s}")
'1428 days 21:33:9'
>>> period(td, "{h} hours, {m} minutes and {s} seconds, {d} days")
'21 hours, 33 minutes and 9 seconds, 1428 days'
