  Description     : A timestamp-based sleep function for Python

 Suspend the execution of your program for a given amount of time. This works similarly to ``time.sleep``, but uses your computers timestamp to track time, versus a counter.
 .
 For example, traditionally using ``time.sleep(3600)``, will pause the program for 60 minutes. If your computer goes into standby mode during minute one, and wakes up several hours later, your program will continue to be paused for 59 minutes.
 .
 On the other hand, with ``pause.seconds(3600)``, if your computer goes into standby mode for several hours, the program will continue immediately after the machine wakes back up since the minimum amount of time has passed since the pause was started.

As I've been away from Debian work for far too many years than I want
to admit to myself, I'd very much appreciate if someone looked over my
package and gave me feedback. Don't count on me to read any Debian
mailing list (CC me on replies), nor to be very responsive in the next
week or two.
