Is there any way to directly get the seconds using date time diff or any library, API, sample code, without using conversion like hrs to mins, mins to sec etc..? because I just need the seconds date, hrs, mins will be ignored,

Example:

10/28/2015 08:54:54 - 10/28/2015 07:54:54 = 3600 seconds
10/28/2015 08:54:54 - 10/27/2015 07:54:54 = 90000 seconds
10/28/2015 08:54:54 - 10/28/2015 08:54:10 = 44 seconds

Note: Using this format (time.strftime("%m/%d/%y %I:%M:%S")) as datetime

@TigerhawkT3 can you link me where is the duplicate question for this, as my reference – Syntax Rommel Oct 28 '15 at 06:18
It is linked automatically. – TigerhawkT3 Oct 28 '15 at 06:18
from my code it is string and Im using this format (time.strftime("%m/%d/%y %I:%M:%S")) – Syntax Rommel Oct 28 '15 at 06:19
I see, but in my case it was a string it was inputed and did not came from the database as timestamp. – Syntax Rommel Oct 28 '15 at 06:20
If you're using `strftime()`, you're starting with `datetime` or `time` objects. Use them. – TigerhawkT3 Oct 28 '15 at 06:28
unrelated: don't use `%y` (two digit year), use `%Y` (4 digits) instead. don't use `%I` (12hours) format without `%p`, use `%H` (24hours) instead. To get datetime from the time string: `d = datetime.strptime('10/28/2015 08:54:10', '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S')` – jfs Oct 28 '15 at 16:14
