Timedelta in hours,minutes,seconds,microseconds format

Question

I am trying to make the timedelta to display time in H:M:S:MS format , i am able to display in H:M:S format using datetime.timedelta function like below

 print((datetime.timedelta(minutes=500)))

output: 8:20:00

How can i get the output as 8:20:00:00 in H:M:S:MS

Answer 1

You can add one:

print(str(datetime.timedelta(minutes=500))+':0')

Output:

8:20:00:0

Answer 2

One way to go is using string formating:

d = datetime.timedelta(minutes=500)
print('%s:%s' % (str(d), d.microseconds))
# 8:20:00:0
