May I ask what's wrong in the code, please?

import datetime

def far_away(set_delta): datetime1 = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(set_timedelta) return datetime1

far_away.py 
import datetime

def far_away(set_delta):
    datetime1 = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(set_delta)
    return datetime1

The incoming argument is already a timedelta, so you only need to add it:

    datetime1 = datetime.datetime.now() + set_delta
