Write a function called far_away that takes one argument, a timedelta. Add that timedelta to datetime.datetime.now() and return the resulting datetime object.
def far_away():
import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
return datetime

If you start by importing the datetime at the top and begin you will have a better chance. What I did was simply define the function far_away, inserted the argument 'timedelta' and closed ':'.
I then created a variable to hold the argument + the datetime.datetime.now()
I then simply returned that variable.

You are importing the datetime module, use it to build an object with the current local time and return the datetime module at the end. You are very far off from what's being asked. I suggest you take a step back and master the basics before delving into the datetime library otherwise I think you'll be even more confused.

Why is the problem with this code??
Pedro Cabral
33,586 PointsAlmost there. You don't need to initialize/construct the timedelta because you already receive it via the function argument. You should use it straight away as is.
