Python Time conversion h:m:s to seconds

Question

I am aware that with the timedelta function you can convert seconds to h:m:s using something like:

>> import datetime
>> str(datetime.timedelta(s         


        

Answer 1

>>> def tt(a):
...     b = a.split(':')
...     return int(b[0]) * 3600 + int(b[1]) * 60 + int(b[2])
... 
>>> print tt('0:11:06')

666
