You can use sleep() method to sleep a thread for a specified amount of time. This method provides accurate and flexible way to halt a code for any period of time.

Have a look at the below given example for better understanding:

Input:

import time 

#printing the time when code execution began


print("code execution began at : ", end ="")
print(time.ctime()) 

#using sleep to halt the code execution

time.sleep(10) 

#printing the time when code execution ended

print("code execution ended at : ", end ="") 
print(time.ctime()) 

Output:

code execution began at : Tue May 28 07:41:48 2019

code execution ended at : Tue May 28 07:41:58 2019
