Sleep for exact time in python

Question

I need to wait for about 25ms in one of my functions. Sometimes this function is called when the processor is occupied with other things and other times it has the processor

Answer 1

From the docs of the sleep method:

Suspend execution for the given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number to indicate a more precise sleep time. The actual suspension time may be less than that requested because any caught signal will terminate the sleep() following execution of that signal’s catching routine. Also, the suspension time may be longer than requested by an arbitrary amount because of the scheduling of other activity in the system.

The fact is that it depends on your underlying OS.
