OOP Game - is there a way to pause text between combat rounds?

I'd like to make the game pause for a second or 2 at the end of each combat round so that the player can read the results before the next round starts. Is there a way to make the output pause for a time interval, or is my best bet something along the lines of a method that pulls in input("[C]ontinue" )?

Your question is tagged python, so here is a python answer I found.

import time print("something") time.sleep(5.5) # pause 5.5 seconds print("something")

+1 with what Jeremy said above.

sleep() will accept a time with a nonzero fraction, so in your case, if it is just a second or two you could just put:

time.sleep(2)
