Hi.
I'm writing some scripts with python, and I found sometimes, when I try to use time.sleep(1) to sleep 1 sec, it would actually sleep for 9 secs or even longer.
>From python document, I saw this:
time.sleep(secs)
....
Also, the suspension time may be longer than requested by an arbitrary amount because of the scheduling of other activity in the system.
So, my question: under what kind of condition, time.sleep would suspend longer time than expected?
Anybody got interested?
Best Regards.
