Minutes.py

Not sure why this is not a proper way to solve this challenge.

minutes.py 
def minutes(datetime1, datetime2):
    seconds1 = datetime1.timedelta.total_seconds() / 60
    seconds2 = datetime2.timedelta.total_seconds() / 60
    delta = seconds2 - seconds1
    return round(delta)

Datetime objects don't have a "timedelta" attribute.

But you can create a timedelta object by subtracting one datetime from another. Then, you can get the seconds from the timedelta and perform your math on it.
