Question

what i need to do is:

1. Check time at 1st point

2. Check time at 2nd point

3. Calculate if the difference between times
   is less then a timeout i have (0.5 seconds)

tried this :

>>> from time import time
>>> a=time
>>> b=time
>>> a-b
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'builtin_function_or_method' and   builtin_function_or_method'

but im getting an error.

Please advice.

This is actually very easy to do:

from time import time

time_1 = time()
# do something
time_2 = time()
if time_2 - time_1 < .5:
    #do something
