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

is a read-only attribute, not a method:
import datetime
d = datetime.timedelta(days=365, hours=15)
print(d)
print(d.days)
Results in:
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.
"
