You can use the timedelta.total_seconds() method to convert a timedelta object to a number of seconds, and then add that number of seconds to a base datetime object to get a new datetime object.
For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
from datetime import datetime, timedelta # base datetime dt = datetime(2020, 1, 1) # timedelta to add td = timedelta(days=1, seconds=3600) # convert timedelta to seconds td_seconds = td.total_seconds() # add timedelta to base datetime result = dt + td print(result) |
This would output: 2020-01-02 01:00:00

Alternatively, you can use the timedelta's days, seconds, and microseconds attributes to create a new datetime object.
Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
from datetime import datetime, timedelta # base datetime dt = datetime(2020, 1, 1) # timedelta to add td = timedelta(days=1, seconds=3600) # convert timedelta to datetime result = dt + td print(result) |
This would output: 2020-01-02 01:00:00
