title: How to get Difference between two strings with time and weekday in Python
body: <p>I have 2 strings of weekday and time:</p>
  <pre><code>time_1 = &quot;Wed 09:00&quot;
  time_2 = &quot;Fri 13:00&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I want to get the time difference between the two times in seconds.</p>
  <p>I have tried the <code>datetime.datetime.strptime</code> (or <code>strftime</code>) but without success.
  it does not know how to relate to the weekday.</p>
  <p>example:</p>
  <pre><code>time_1 = strptime(time_1, &quot;%a %H:%M&quot;)
  time_2 = strptime(time_2, &quot;%a %H:%M&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p><code>time_diff = (time_2 - time_1).total_seconds()</code> does not take into account the weekday, just the hours and minutes.</p>
  <p>My case is that I don't parse dates, but weekdays and hours/minutes</p>
