Passing a time delta as an argument

I'm not sure how to pass a time delta as an argument in a function. Pls help

far_away.py 
from datetime import datetime
from datetime import timedelta

def far_away(x):
    #time_lapse = datetime.timedelta(**{time_unit: num})
    return datetime.datetime.now() + x

Just "import datetime" since the code is using the module name to reference the function.
