The quiz question about creating a time delta for 5 min ago in the Dates and Time in Python seems to not work

now = datetime.datetime.now() now datetime.datetime(2017, 6, 2, 21, 33, 18, 871346) then = now + datetime.timedelta(minutes=-5) then datetime.datetime(2017, 6, 2, 21, 28, 18, 871346)

The Correct Answer to the is: datetime.timedelta(minutes=-5) I cannot get the quiz to take the right answer. Why?

Never mind, you have to put a space between the equal sign and the -5. So much for no space between items in a function.
