Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

It seems that a typecheck can be added as suggested by the existing comment

def__new__(cls,days=0,seconds=0,microseconds=0,milliseconds=0,minutes=0,hours=0,weeks=0):# Doing this efficiently and accurately in C is going to be difficult        ...# XXX Check that all inputs are ints or floats.

Currently, an error is raised, but it's not explicit that it's because of an argument of wrong type

_pydatetime.timedelta(seconds='1')# TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If this type check is not desirable, I think we can simply remove the comment.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
