Leap seconds are ignored, so a difference of <datetime before the leap second> and <datetime with the leap second> is zero:

>>> import datetime
>>> t1=datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 30, 23, 59, 59)
>>> t2=datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 30, 23, 59, 59)
>>> t2-t1
datetime.timedelta(0)

Supporting leap seconds might be possible, but it requires much more work.
