Python modulo support for datetime

datetime_modulo.py

import datetime as dt


class datetime(dt.datetime):
    def __divmod__(self, delta):
        seconds = int((self - dt.datetime.min).total_seconds())
        remainder = dt.timedelta(
            seconds=seconds % delta.total_seconds(),
            microseconds=self.microsecond,
        )
        quotient = self - remainder
        return quotient, remainder

    def __floordiv__(self, delta):
        return divmod(self, delta)[0]

    def __mod__(self, delta):
        return divmod(self, delta)[1]

>>> from datetime_modulo import datetime
>>> from datetime import timedelta
>>> d = datetime.now()
>>> d
datetime(2016, 4, 15, 18, 16, 37, 684181)
>>> d % timedelta(seconds=60)
datetime.timedelta(0, 37, 684181)
>>> d // timedelta(seconds=60)
datetime.datetime(2016, 4, 15, 18, 16)
>>> d % timedelta(minutes=15)
datetime.timedelta(0, 97, 684181)
>>> d // timedelta(minutes=15)
datetime.datetime(2016, 4, 15, 18, 15)

I love the internet. Thank you, this is exactly what I need.

... well, not quite. I've created a fork that preserves timezone awareness. I'm not sure if it's possible, but if you'd like me to try to create a pull request for you, let me know.

Ditto, spot on, and timely - thanks!
