Rep Power      How Accurate is Sleep      I was just wondering
how accurate time.sleep() really is. I've been told that in
Visual Basic 6 the timer controls can be up to 4 milliseconds
off every time you use them. In Python is time.sleep() off by
any amount of time, even if its 1 millisecond?   2. #2   3. No
