def str2time(s): (source)

Parse a string description of an interval into an integer number of seconds.

Parameters	s	An interval definition constructed as an interval duration followed by an interval unit. An interval duration is a base ten representation of an integer. An interval unit is one of the following letters: S (seconds), M (minutes), H (hours), D (days), W (weeks), or Y (years). For example: `"3S"` indicates an interval of three seconds; `"5D"` indicates an interval of five days. Alternatively, `s` may be any non-string and it will be returned unmodified. (type: text string (`str`) for parsing; anything else for passthrough.)
Returns	an `int` giving the interval represented by the string `s`, or whatever `s` is if it is not a string.

Parameters	list	The list of bytes to represent.
Returns	(type: `str`)
