generate a fake lag using python? - jhave_21 - Nov-11-2017
hi all, So I wanna generate a fake lag using python, fake because even the screen is "non-responsive" the processes is still running (on the background), what I mean by lag is the screen is not moving, maybe what I really mean is to capture the current screen when the script is activated and maintain it for a couple of seconds or until I do something.
Do you think there's any module for this
I wan't to create a simple (fake lag) so that when I put it in a script I'll use "time.sleep()"
so that it would just activate on the specified time.
note:I'm running windows 7 but I want it to run too at other versions of windows and I'm using python 2.7

Sounds as if you're looking for a screen saver type solution but using a screen capture image.
You might try pyscreenshot, autopy or mss.
As a side not, you really should be using the latest version of Python (3.6.3), not the 'dead' version.

Hi, I did not yet tried your suggestion but what do you mean "dead" version?

Python2.x is most likely not going to be maintained after 2020.
