| 5 Python comes with a rich libray of classes for dealing with date and time. I was working with datetime.time objects the other day and needed to calculate the difference between to time instances. To my great surprise this isn't easily doable as Python's standard lib only has `timedelta` objects which cannot deal with pure time objects. | |

| 7 So I had to write my own [timedelta](http://xanthippe.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/timedelta/shortlog/tip) function which takes two time instances and calculates the difference. The diff will be returned as a time instance. | |
