How to find difference in years between two dates?

For the purpose of finding someone's age I was looking for a way to find how the difference in years between two dates, so I could do something like: age = (date.today() - born).year but that didn't work (the timedelta class doesn't have a year accessor). I looked in the docs and the cookbook,
