Re: Best way to make a timer in python?

You can use the time module. What you do is set a baseline time variable, then compare it to the current time to see how much time has passed. For example:

import time

baseline = time.time()
while True:
    if time.time() - baseline == 1:
        print("one second has passed")
        break

Now, to pause it you can just make baseline equal time.time() preemptively, like so:

import time

baseline = time.time()
pause = True
while True:
    if pause == True:
        baseline = time.time()
    elif time.time() - baseline == 1:
        print("one second has passed")
        break

This ensures that any checks you have that requires a certain amount of time to trigger won't go off, effectively pausing them.
