Out of curiosity, between what two events are you needing a delay?

The best way to do it is:
from dogtail.utils import doDelay

[code and stuff]
doDelay(x) # where x is the delay in seconds.

The advantage of doDelay() is that if you do:

from dogtail.config import config
config.debugSleep = True

then your delays will show up in the debug log. Also, there is a default 
global delay that is defined as config.defaultDelay, which doDelay() 
will use if you don't pass it an explicit delay.

I hope I used the word 'delay' enough in that paragraph ;)
