If you set nb_true_div on timedelta objects to delta_divide (just like nb_floor_div) you won't have this problem as the division will just work. Otherwise there is no other good way as if the divisor doesn't work you need to return NotImplemented, which then tries the right-hand object which fails, and 'object' returns the TypeError. Best you could do is a warning or something. But it might make sense to only set it on nb_true_div as the division does not round anything.
