Multiplying timedelta instances

Overview:

Multiplication of a timedelta instance by an integer or a floating point number is supported through the * operator.

# Example Python program that multiplies
# timdelta instances by integer and floating point
# values
from datetime import timedelta

halfLapTime = timedelta(minutes = 3)

# One full lap is two half laps
oneLapTime = halfLapTime * 2

print("Time required to complete one lap:")
print(oneLapTime)

print("Time required to complete two and half laps:")
print(oneLapTime*2.5)

Time required to complete one lap:

0:06:00

Time required to complete two and half laps:

0:15:00
