How to add a certain time delay to the code using Python

Hi all. Pretty simple - My requirement is that I want to know how I could put a certain time delay of a particular duration into the code of my Python script.

I am working on learning Python and using this for a project of mine.

All help appreciated!

It is really simple. Check out the following code snippet:

import time
time.sleep(5)   # Delays for 5 seconds. You can also use a float value.

Also, check this out. I have another example for you where a piece of code is run once in a minute.

import time
while True:
    print("This prints once a minute.")
    time.sleep(60) # Delay for 1 minute (60 seconds).

Hope this helped!
