To make a time delay in Python, you can use the time.sleep()
function from the time
module in the Python standard library. The time.sleep()
function takes one argument, the number of seconds to pause the execution of the script.
Here's an example:
import time print("Starting...") # Pause the script for 5 seconds time.sleep(5) print("...Finished after 5 seconds")
In this example, we first import the time
module. We print "Starting..." to indicate the beginning of the script execution, then use the time.sleep()
function with the argument 5
to pause the script for 5 seconds. After the 5 seconds have elapsed, the script resumes execution and prints "...Finished after 5 seconds".
Please note that the time.sleep()
function blocks the execution of the script, meaning that it will not be responsive to other events during the sleep period. If you're working with a multi-threaded or asynchronous application, you may need to use a different approach to avoid blocking other tasks.
Adding delay using time.sleep()
in Python:
import time # Sleep for 3 seconds time.sleep(3) print("Execution resumed after delay.")
Creating a pause or sleep in Python:
import time # Sleep for 5 seconds time.sleep(5) print("Execution paused and resumed.")
Python time.sleep()
for introducing delays:
import time # Sleep for 2 seconds time.sleep(2) print("Delay introduced using time.sleep().")
How to wait for a specific duration in Python:
import time # Wait for 4 seconds duration = 4 time.sleep(duration) print(f"Waited for {duration} seconds.")
Delay execution in Python script:
import time # Delay for 1 second time.sleep(1) print("Execution delayed by 1 second.")
Python time
module for introducing delays:
import time # Introduce a delay of 3 seconds time.sleep(3) print("Delay introduced using the time module.")
Using time.sleep()
to pause execution in Python:
import time # Pause for 2 seconds time.sleep(2) print("Execution paused for 2 seconds.")
Create a time delay with the timeit
module in Python:
import timeit # Delay for 3 seconds timeit.time.sleep(3) print("Execution delayed using the timeit module.")
Adding a delay between actions in Python script:
import time # Action 1 print("Performing Action 1") # Introduce a delay time.sleep(2) # Action 2 print("Performing Action 2")
Introducing a wait or sleep in Python code:
import time # Wait for 4 seconds time.sleep(4) print("Code execution resumed after waiting.")
