Python does have a year option that they are not using. Depending on the application I would use 365 for a year to get a consistent number of days.

I did look up the help for that function to make this meme but I must have missed that option. in my defense I've only been using Python for like 10 years

No, it doesn't:

help(datetime.timedelta)

Help on class timedelta in module datetime:

class timedelta(builtins.object)
 |  Difference between two datetime values.
 |
 |  timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0)
 |
 |  All arguments are optional and default to 0.
 |  Arguments may be integers or floats, and may be positive or negative.
