Timedelta unsupported days component | python 2.7

I am extracting timetamp from dictionary and then converting it into time-format. When I try to compare with datetime.datetime.now() using time delta it gets error:

dict={'Username': 'abc', 'Timestamp': '5/17/2017 16:52:35', 'GroupName': 'Cpositive'}

dictime=dict["Timestamp"]
dictime = datetime.datetime.strptime(dictime, '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S')
print(dictime)
finaltime=(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(dictime))
print(finaltime)

output:

TypeError: unsupported type for timedelta days component: datetime.datetime

I think, you want this, when you subtract 2 datetimes the result is timedelta:

>>> dictime = datetime.datetime.strptime(dictime, '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S')
>>> finaltime=(datetime.datetime.now() - dictime)
>>> finaltime.days
0
>>> finaltime.seconds
1379
>>>
