usleep in Python

Question

I was searching for a usleep() function in Python 2.7.

Does anybody know if it does exist, maybe with another function name?

Answer 1

Since usleep generally means you want to delay execution for x microseconds, you must divide the seconds value by 1000000.

import time
time.sleep(seconds/1000000.0)

time.sleep() takes seconds as a parameter.
