Python datetime and finding birthyear

I am trying to make small program where I can find the birth year, given the age, 

import datetime
x=raw_input("your age is?")
y=datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y")
print y-x

However, this is not working because of the format of the output.

Your input and current year need to be integers.

from datetime import datetime

x = int(raw_input("What is your age? "))  # Get user's age
y = datetime.now().year                   # Get current year

print("Your birth year: {}".format(y-x))  # Print difference

The most straightforward way to get this should be

y = datetime.datetime.now().year

strftime(..) returns a string. You need to convert into an int.

y = int(datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y"))
