Is time.sleep(1) on windows the same as time.sleep(1) on linux?

Is time.sleep(1) on windows the same as time.sleep(1) on linux?

Basically this is a python script to have a sleep command on windows and mac ox x, both I believe don't have a command except if ping to >nul (clumsy). the time.sleep(1) is python module time and the command sleep sleeping for 1 second. This script excepts -m for milliseconds -s for seconds (defaults to that) -min for minutes and -hour for hours. It then scans the arguments and parses them if there is a problem it quits with 1 as a return value (saying it failed) and saying something went wrong.

C++ Sleep command, made it for my NintendoDS as DevKitARM dont have a sleep command.

void sleep(int secs) {
   int start = time(NULL);
   while ((time(NULL) - start) < secs) {
    //DO NOTHING!
   }
}

Delphi port

procedure sleep(secs:integer);
  var
    start:integer;
begin
  start:=time(nil);
  while (time(nil) - start) < secs) do
    begin
        //DO NOTHING!
    end;
end;
