When you need a flexible input format, consider keyword arguments. In
this case, I would pass along the inputs to timedelta:
def from_now(**kwargs):
return datetime.now() + timedelta(**kwargs)
from_now(hours=8) returns datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=8), and the
function can now accept any of timedelta's arguments. For more on what
**kwargs means, see the tutorial:
