   >>> timedelta(100)
   datetime.timedelta(100)
   >>> str(timedelta(seconds=100))
   '0:01:40'
   >>> str(timedelta(hours=100))
   '4 days, 4:00:00'

(I recently spent *way* too long trying to figure out how to properly
format the thing before being reminded that a plain str call gives
exactly what I was after.)
