Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library does not actually pause execution; it only returns a random float. You must implement sleep yourself using time.sleep.

fix

Wrap the returned value in time.sleep() to actually wait.

affects: *

gotchaThe import path uses underscores (python_timeout) despite the package name containing a hyphen.

fix

Use 'from python_timeout import random_timeout'.
