Notes

The longest component is days, whose value may be larger than 365. Every component is always included, even if its value is 0. Pandas uses nanosecond precision, so up to 9 decimal places may be included in the seconds component. Trailing 0’s are removed from the seconds component after the decimal. We do not 0 pad components, so it’s ...T5H..., not ...T05H...

Examples

>>> td = pd.Timedelta(days=6, minutes=50, seconds=3,
...                   milliseconds=10, microseconds=10, nanoseconds=12)
>>> td.isoformat()
'P6DT0H50M3.010010012S'
>>> pd.Timedelta(hours=1, seconds=10).isoformat()
'P0DT0H0M10S'
>>> pd.Timedelta(hours=1, seconds=10).isoformat()
'P0DT0H0M10S'
>>> pd.Timedelta(days=500.5).isoformat()
'P500DT12H0MS'
