System.TimeSpan can't add time from IronPython

[Jan R-2]

Hi,

System.TimeSpan does not add time when using Add:

>>> clr.AddReference('System')
>>> span = System.TimeSpan(1,0,0)
>>> span.ToString()
'01:00:00'
>>> hour = System.TimeSpan(1,0,0)
>>> hour.ToString()
'01:00:00'
>>> span.Add(hour)
<System.TimeSpan object at 0x000000000000002B [02:00:00]>
>>> span.ToString()
'01:00:00'
 
Should have been '02:00:00', because 1 hour is added.


Regards
Jan Rou

span.Add() returns a new TimeSpan object, it does not mutate the existing object.  You can see that the result of span.Add(hour) printed out the 2:00:00 time span in the repl that was returned.
