is there anyway to sleep in a python program asside from:
import os
os.system("sleep 1")

or

import threading
threading._sleep(1)

I mean it is part of unistd.h so you would think that it would
appear in os or posix or somewhere.

cheers, Angus.

Would time.sleep do? (There is a low level index to the library docs,
you know).

It's in time.

import time
time.sleep(1)
