Return the total number of seconds contained in the duration. Equivalent to ``td / timedelta(seconds=1)``. ``td / timedelta(seconds=1)``. For interval units other than seconds, use the division form directly (e.g. ``td / timedelta(microseconds=1)``).
Note that for very large time intervals (greater than 270 years on most platforms) this method will lose microsecond accuracy. Expand Down
