There is another, simpler, easier way to do what I did in yesterday’s post. It’s another function of the time module, and it’s called “sleep.” You can put the statement “time.sleep(1)” and the number in the parentheses is how many seconds Python will wait before continuing with the program. So what took eight lines of code yesterday takes only five lines of code today:

countdown2.py

import time
for count in range (30, 0, -1):
    print count
    time.sleep(1)
print "boom."

I like it when I learn stuff. Comments are appreciated.
