import time

time.sleep(5)   # Delays for 5 seconds. You can also use a float value.

Here is a different case where something is run about once a minute:
import time

while True:

    print("This prints once a minute.")

    time.sleep(60) # Delay for 1 minute (60 seconds).

Sometimes we need a delay between the execution of two instructions. Python has inbuild support for putting the program to sleep. The time module has a function sleep(). Here is an example to use sleep().


 import time

     print("hello")

     time.sleep(1.2) # sleep for 10=.2 sec

      print("world)


For adding time delay in the loop 


   import time

   text="hello world"

   for i in text:

      print(i)

      time.sleep(5)

Using asyncio.sleep() function


    import asyncio

    print("Hello world")



    async def display():

      await  asyncio.sleep(5)

       print("Time sleep added")

   asyncio.run(display)

Using Timer


from threading import Timer



print('Hello world')



def display():

    print('Timer used')



t = Timer(5, display)  

t.start()
