Sleep is a part of the time module.  That means time has to be imported
before sleep will be recognized as a valid name.  Here's an example

#!/usr/bin/env python
import time

print "The beginning of time."
time.sleep(5.9) # not sure the documents mention that fractions work too
print "The end of time."

Hope this did.
