Convert timedelta to floating-point
datetime, floating-point, python, python-2.7, timedelta
Solution
You could use the `total_seconds` method:
time_d_float = time_d.total_seconds()
Problem
I got a timedelta object from the subtraction of two datetimes. I need this value as floating point for further calculations. All that I've found enables the calculation with floating-points, but the result is still a timedelta object. ``` time_d = datetime_1 - datetime_2 time_d_float = float(time_d) ``` does not work.
