You're already being sent in a timedelta so you don't need to create a new one. You'll also need to either save the result in a variable or return it right away.

# Save for a return
result = datetime.datetime.now() + timedelta

On a side note, this:

return datetime.datetime

will return the class itself rather than a new datetime instance. So if you used the first example you'd want to return result instead.
