in python3 I can't say diff.days
diff =start_time - another_time
print(diff)

Question

Python
diff =start_time - another_time
print(diff)
 
there is no days method for diff however it prints the diff:
10543 days, 7:54:55.054150
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

In timedelta objects (https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#timedelta-objects), days is a read-only attribute, not a method:
Python
import datetime
d = datetime.timedelta(days=365, hours=15)
print(d)
print(d.days)

Results in:
Python
365 days, 15:00:00
365
 
The print diff invokes the timedelta.__str__() method which "Returns a string in the form [D day[s], ][H]H:MM:SS[.UUUUUU], where D is negative for negative t."
