Use time.sleep()

from time import sleep
sleep(0.05)

Note that if you rely on sleep taking exactly 50 ms, you won't get that. It will just be about it.

ANSWER 3

Score 97

Use time.sleep():

import time
time.sleep(50 / 1000)

See the Python documentation: https://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.sleep

You can also do it by using the Timer() function.

Code:

from threading import Timer

def hello():
  print("Hello")

t = Timer(0.05, hello)
t.start()  # After 0.05 seconds, "Hello" will be printed
