These challenges were excellent practice!

Here's my solutions (my answer to challenge 3 is probably inefficient, but it's simple enough).

from dateutil import relativedelta
import datetime
from utils import no_s_if_1

def date_parser(person):
    format_string = "%Y-%m-%d"
    birthday_dt = datetime.datetime.strptime(person['birthday'], format_string)
    return birthday_dt

def diff_func(person):
    birthday_dt = date_parser(person)
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    birthday_this_year = birthday_dt.replace(year=now.year)
    difference = birthday_this_year - now
    return difference


def upcoming_birthdays(people_list, days):
    # TODO: write code that finds all upcoming birthdays in the next 90 days
    # 90 is passed in as a parameter from menus.py
    # Template:
    # PERSON turns AGE in X days on MONTH DAY
    # PERSON turns AGE in X days on MONTH DAY
    # print("Upcoming Birthdays function")
    # print(people_list)
    # pass

    sorted_bd_list = []
    sorted_person_list = []
    for person in people_list:
        difference = diff_func(person)

        sorted_bd_list.append(difference.days)

    sorted_bd_list.sort()

    for dif in sorted_bd_list:
        for person in people_list:
            difference = diff_func(person)

            if difference.days == dif:
                sorted_person_list.append(person)

    for person in sorted_person_list:
        birthday_dt = date_parser(person)

        now = datetime.datetime.now()

        birthday_this_year = birthday_dt.replace(year=now.year)

        difference = birthday_this_year - now

        turning_age = relativedelta.relativedelta(now, birthday_dt).years + 1

        if 0 <= difference.days <= days:
            print(f"{person['name']} turns {turning_age} in {no_s_if_1(difference.days, 'days')} on {birthday_this_year.strftime('%B %d')}")
        if -365 <= difference.days <= -275:
            hey = difference.days + 365
            print(f"{person['name']} turns {turning_age} in {no_s_if_1(hey, 'days')} on {birthday_this_year.strftime('%B %d')}")

    print(sorted_bd_list)
    # print(sorted_person_list)
    # print(people_list)


def display_age(person):
    # TODO: write code to display the age of person
    # Template:
    # PERSON is X years, X months, and X days old
    birthday_dt = date_parser(person)
    today = datetime.date.today()
    difference = relativedelta.relativedelta(today, birthday_dt)

    print(f"{person['name']} is {no_s_if_1(difference.years, 'years')}, {no_s_if_1(difference.months, 'months')}, and {no_s_if_1(difference.days, 'days')} old")
    # print(person)
    # pass


def display_age_difference(people):
    # TODO: write the code to display the age difference between people
    # Template:
    # PERSON is older

    p0_dt = date_parser(people[0])
    p1_dt = date_parser(people[1])

    if p0_dt < p1_dt:
        difference = relativedelta.relativedelta(p1_dt, p0_dt)
        print(f"{people[0]['name']} is older")
    else:
        difference = relativedelta.relativedelta(p0_dt, p1_dt)
        print(f"{people[1]['name']} is older")

    # print(difference)

    print(f"{people[0]['name']} and {people[1]['name']}'s age difference is: {no_s_if_1(difference.years, 'years')}, {no_s_if_1(difference.months, 'months')}, and {no_s_if_1(difference.days, 'days')}")
    # print(people)
    # pass

Have a great day!
