How do I make my python program to wait some time (several seconds)?
Like this:
print & do stuff
...
wait 6 seconds
...
continue doing stuff

You can use the sleep function in the time module. E.g.
import time
print "This"
time.sleep(6)
print "and that."

Oh wait, how can I do that in milliseconds? If I want it to sleep for 200 milliseconds, will I type in 0.2?

sleep(...)
sleep(seconds)
Delay execution for a given number of seconds. The argument may be
a floating point number for subsecond precision.

Yes. I guess the resolution depends on the OS though.
