pauselib

A tiny Python utility library for pausing with style — timed waits, animated messages, and input timeouts when bare time.sleep() isn't enough.

Why?

Ever wrapped everything in try/except just to rerun on failure? Or wanted a countdown with a message before retrying? pauselib gives you readable pause helpers without boilerplate.

Features

• pause(seconds) — simple sleep wrapper
• with_msg(seconds, message) — wait with a printed message
• for_input(seconds) — timed input prompts
• Custom exception types in exceptions.py
• Test harness under tests/

Quick start

from pause import pause

pause.pause(3)
pause.with_msg(5, "Retrying in…")
pause.for_input(10)

Or explore interactively:

python test.py
