The fact that the sleep function is in the time module and not in, like, the threading module is so stupid.

    I guess that because of historical reasons, from back in the day, when there was no generalised concept of threads.

    And in C its declaration is in unistd.h or Windows.h (and they are both different).

    I don't see a big problem here
    Especially for newcomers
    It's better to import sleep from time module rather than understanding threads and importing it from there

    @sbiewald Though Windows' lack of Posix conformance isn't exactly a C issue.

    As of C11, there's actually thrd_sleep as a cross platform sleep function.
