Display a countdown for the python sleep function

I am using time.sleep(10) in my program. Can display the countdown in the shell when I run my program?

tasks done, now sleeping          


        

Answer 1

Here's one I did:

import time
a = input("How long is the countdown?")
while a != 0:
    print a
    time.sleep(1)
    a = a-1

At the end if you and an else you can put an alarm or whatever.
