I'm slightly confused on how to add timedelta to date.time
import datetime
def far_away(hours=5):
datetime.datetime.now() + far_away.timedelta(hours=1)
return datetime

You seem to understand timedeltas. The argument passed into the function is already a timedelta object so it can be directly added to the now().
You also need to return the result of the addition instead of the datetime module name. You can return the addition directly, or assign it a name then return that name:
# both are correct
return datetime.datetime.now() + hours
# or
result = datetime.datetime.now() + hours
return result
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
