Display a countdown for the python sleep function
you could always do #do some stuff print ‘tasks done, now sleeping for 10 seconds’ for i in xrange(10,0,-1): time.sleep(1) print i This snippet has the slightly annoying feature that each number gets printed out on a newline. To avoid this, you can import sys import time for i in xrange(10,0,-1): sys.stdout.write(str(i)+’ ‘) sys.stdout.flush() time.sleep(1)
