Many of us are aware that there is no sleep in Windows. For those of us who don't want Cygwin or something similar, I wrote this stupid little script just now.
#!/usr/bin/env python2
from time import sleep
from sys import argv, stderr, exit
try:
duration = int(argv[1])
if duration <= 0:
raise ValueError
sleep(duration)
except (IndexError, ValueError):
print >>stderr, 'Usage: %s duration' % argv[0]
It's not significant, but I am not amused by the lack of such a command in Windows.
