layover_info = datetime.strptime(leg_info['dep_time'], '%H:%M') - start_waiting_time
layover_info_str = layover_info.strftime('%H:%M')

but it doesnt work.. im getting the error

error: 'datetime.timedelta' object has no attribute 'strftime'

You will need to format it manually, `timedelta` objects don't have `strftime` (which is exactly what the error tells you...) — jonrsharpe, Aug 03 '15 at 15:00

You can do it manually, something like this:

def my_strftime(layover_info):
   hours, remainder = divmod(layover_info.seconds, 3600)
   minutes, seconds = divmod(remainder, 60)
   print '%02s:%02s' % (hours, minutes)

layover_info = datetime.strptime(leg_info['dep_time'], '%H:%M') -     start_waiting_time
layover_info_str = my_strftime(layover_info)
