diff = datetime.datetime.strptime(date1, datetimeFormat)\
    - datetime.datetime.strptime(date2, datetimeFormat)

print("Difference:", diff)
print("Days:", diff.days)
print("Microseconds:", diff.microseconds)
print("Seconds:", diff.seconds)

Sample output of above program.

C:\programs\time>pep8 --first example8.py

C:\programs\time>python example8.py
