import threading, time

class QQQ(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):
        # ... whatever else you wish ...
        time.sleep(ms/1000.0)

time.sleep uses seconds as its unit of measure,
whence the /1000.0 part assuming ms stands for
'milliseconds'.  (Note the argument is a float,
so fractions of a second are OK, but you do have
to use seconds as the UNIT of measure here).
