Now that you’ve seen how to use time.sleep(), you should think of it whenever you need to make a delay or pause in your code’s execution.
In this course, you learned:
time.sleep()timeit to measure your code’s execution timetime.sleep() to build an uptime botFor some next steps for your newly-built uptime bot, check out these other Real Python resources:
00:00
You went over a bunch of things during this course. You learned how to use the time.sleep() module, and specifically, you used time.sleep() in a normal context.
00:08
You also timed it with the timeit module to make sure that it actually works as expected. Then you built an uptime bot, and you refactored it twice to improve the code quality.
00:18 And then finally, you learned about next steps that you can take from here to improve the functionality of your uptime bot and make it useful. Throughout this time, every once in a while, you also ran some code and you had Python sleep a bit, so you got a chance to relax and refresh your brain as well on the go.
00:37
And another thing, there’s a Python sleep() tutorial that has the same name as this course and is called How to Add Time Delays to Your Code.
00:45
I also suggest you take a look at this tutorial because it includes more use cases for time.sleep(). For example, in a GUI, or how to build a decorator that uses the time.sleep() function, et cetera. So, take a look at this tutorial and keep working on your uptime bot so that you can go out camping and enjoy the night sky without running into any weird thoughts. My name is Martin, and this is a Real Python course. See you around!
