how to pause a script of python

Question

I tried time.sleep(secs). However this has to sleep for some specific seconds. It is not totally paused. Does Python have any function to pause the script forever if there is no any input ? Thanks !

define 'input': a signal, keystroke, network I/O, what?

If you just want to pause until keyboard entry try:

raw_input("press enter")

sys.stdin.readline() blocks until you enter input.
