Python - introduce script delay

My script first executes condition device on/off, then reports the action with an email. I think the email is not reflecting the change in the device status, so I am trying to add a short delay. The python script syntax I'm finding on the internet is not working:

Code: Select all

import time
time.sleep(5)

I also tried

Code: Select all

indigo.server.getTime()
getTime.sleep(5)
Time.sleep(5)

and, once again, my guess and check has come up with nothing.
Suggestions?

Post the whole script, please. Your first code fragment is correct, so if it's not working there's something else going on. Also, be aware that Indigo will kill an embedded script that takes 10 sec (I think) or more to run.

Error message - 'no module named time' at line 3
The delay is at line 95
