Wait for x amount of time defined by input box

Asked by Brendan Sapp

I am trying to get a input command to determine the amount of time a wait lasts for. How can I use input to determine the wait time?

time_city = input("How long would you like City to run for?")
wait(time_city)

When I run that I am given this error

*I inputted 9 as the time to wait

63: Sikuli ( wait ) return SCREEN.wait(target)
2: main ( <module> ) wait(time_city)
[error] --- Traceback --- end --------------

see https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/235023

and:

For wait(value) to wait for the given period, value has to be a number.
time_city = input("How long would you like City to run for?"), however, returns a string value.

What you need might be

wait(int(time_city))
or
wait(float(time_city))
