It blocks the thread. If you look in Modules/timemodule.c in the Python source, you’ll see that in the call to floatsleep(), the substantive part of the sleep operation is wrapped in a Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS block, allowing other threads to continue to execute while the current one sleeps. You can also test this with a … Read more
After considering vim’s answer “Using PowerCreateRequest, PowerSetRequest, and PowerClearRequest functions is the preferred method.” with the linked AvailabilityRequests.docx on msdn which is exhausting to get into it (too much to read), I have searched the web for a concrete example in c# that is based on the PowerCreateRequest and found http://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/problem-monitor-wakeup-service-windows7-12092.aspx [EDIT 2016 – isn’t … Read more
You should try it, just have a script that sleeps for more than your maximum execution time. <?php sleep(ini_get(‘max_execution_time’) + 10); ?> Spoiler: Under Linux, sleeping time is ignored, but under Windows, it counts as execution time.
You have a lot of reading ahead of you. From compiler errors through exception handling, threading and thread interruptions. But this will do what you want: try { Thread.sleep(1000); //1000 milliseconds is one second. } catch(InterruptedException ex) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); }
This delays for 2.5 seconds: import time time.sleep(2.5) Here is another example where something is run approximately once a minute: import time while True: print(“This prints once a minute.”) time.sleep(60) # Delay for 1 minute (60 seconds).
Never use Thread.sleep() when code is executing on the Event Dispatch Thread. Instead you should use a Swing Timer to schedule your animation. See the sections from the Swing tutorial on: Concurrency in Swing How to Use Timers Or if you don’t want to use a Timer, then you can use a SwingWorker (as described … Read more
One difference is that System.Threading.Timer dispatches the callback on a thread pool thread, rather than creating a new thread every time. If you need this to happen more than once during the life of your application, this will save the overhead of creating and destroying a bunch of threads (a process which is very resource … Read more
JS does not have a sleep function, it has setTimeout() or setInterval() functions. If you can move the code that you need to run after the pause into the setTimeout() callback, you can do something like this: //code before the pause setTimeout(function(){ //do what you need here }, 2000); see example here : http://jsfiddle.net/9LZQp/ This … Read more
Use time.sleep() from time import sleep sleep(0.05)
This indicates a mis-understanding of sleep functions. The parameter you pass is a minimum time for sleeping. There’s no guarantee that the thread will wake up after exactly the time specified. In fact, threads don’t “wake up” at all, but are rather chosen for execution by the OS scheduler. The scheduler might choose to wait … Read more
