How can I make a time delay in Python?

Question

Can someone tell me how to put time delay in the script of Python?

Answer 1

To make a time delay use this syntax:

import time
time.sleep(3)   # Delays for 3 seconds. Float value can also be used.

I am attaching one more example where you can run something in approximately three minutes:

import time
while True:
    print("This prints once a minute.")
    time.sleep(180) # Delay for 3 minute (180 seconds).

Hope this helps. Cheers..!! 

Answer 2

You can use the sleep() function in the time module. It can take a float argument for sub-second resolution.

from time import sleep

sleep(0.1)
