This project is a hands-on tutorial demonstrating various use cases of Python's time.sleep() function. Each script showcases a different scenario where introducing delays is useful, such as simulating user wait times, handling dynamic content, rate-limiting API calls, and synchronizing with external resources.

• delaying_between_steps.py: Demonstrates adding delays between Selenium automation steps.
• delaying_script_execution.py: Waits for external scripts/resources to load before interacting with elements.
• dynamic_content.py: Simulates waiting for dynamic content with a hard-coded sleep.
• rate_limited_api_calls.py: Implements exponential backoff for retrying API calls.
• real_time_data_processing.py: Mimics real-time data arrival with random delays.
• simulating_user_wait.py: Adds random delays to simulate human interaction.
• sleep_asyncio.py: Shows how to use asyncio.sleep() for asynchronous tasks.
• sleep_thread.py: Demonstrates sleeping in multiple threads.
• system_resource.py: Periodically checks and prints system resource usage.
• test_behavior.py: Observes page transitions and delays in Selenium.
• waiting_for_external_resources.py: Waits for a file to be created before proceeding.

Each script is self-contained and can be run independently. Make sure you have the required dependencies installed (e.g., selenium, psutil, requests). Run any script using:

python <script_name>.py
