How to make a delay for a single function and not for the entire code in Python?

Question

Python

The other day I was making a voice assistant in Python and there was a need for the races to turn on the function after a certain time. I wanted to do it through an ordinary sleep (), but unfortunately sleep () suspends the entire program. And now I want to know whether it is possible to implement what I wanted or not in regular Python. Maybe there are some libraries?

Answer 1

Depends on the implementation of the helper.
If you use the asynchronous approach, then asyncio.sleep().
If you use synchronous code, then run a separate thread (if it works).
