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

I'm not even sure I'd bother with timedelta for this

>>> pseconds = lambda hms:sum(map(lambda a,b: int(a)*b,hms.split(':'),(3600,60,1)))
>>> pseconds('0:11:06')
666
