    ``Timedelta`` scalars (and ``TimedeltaIndex``) component fields are *not the same* as the component fields on a ``datetime.timedelta`` object. For example, ``.seconds`` on a ``datetime.timedelta`` object returns the total number of seconds combined between ``hours``, ``minutes`` and ``seconds``. In contrast, the pandas ``Timedelta`` breaks out hours, minutes, microseconds and nanoseconds separately.

-- In v0.15.0 a new scalar type ``Timedelta`` was introduced, that is a sub-class of ``datetime.timedelta``. Mentioned :ref:`here <whatsnew_0150.timedeltaindex>` was a notice of an API change w.r.t. the ``.seconds`` accessor. The intent was to provide a user-friendly set of accessors that give the 'natural' value for that unit, e.g. if you had a ``Timedelta('1 day, 10:11:12')``, then ``.seconds`` would return 12. However, this is at odds with the definition of ``datetime.timedelta``, which defines ``.seconds`` as ``10 * 3600 + 11 * 60 + 12 == 36672``.

-  So in v0.16.0, we are restoring the API to match that of ``datetime.timedelta``. Further, the component values are still available through the ``.components`` accessor. This affects the ``.seconds`` and ``.microseconds`` accessors, and removes the ``.hours``, ``.minutes``, ``.milliseconds`` accessors. These changes affect ``TimedeltaIndex`` and the Series ``.dt`` accessor as well. (:issue:`9185`, :issue:`9139`)
