    -*timedelta.max* is not representable as a :class:`timedelta` object.
 
+(5)
+  String representations of :class:`timedelta` objects are normalized
+  similarly to their internal representation.  This leads to somewhat
+  unusual results for negative timedeltas.  For example:
+
+  >>> timedelta(hours=-5)
+  datetime.timedelta(-1, 68400)
+  >>> print(_)
+  -1 day, 19:00:00
+
 In addition to the operations listed above :class:`timedelta` objects support
 certain additions and subtractions with :class:`date` and :class:`datetime`
 objects (see below).
