Correct, using time.sleep() stops the main JMRI thread.
Since you want to have timed signal changes, you will need to use the?AbstractAutomaton class. ?This runs in a separate thread and has a waitMsec() method. ?
You can see a simple example at SetTurnouts.py in the jython directory.

Subject: [jmriusers] Script output delayed
Date: Saturday, March 22, 2025 10:22 PM
In developing some scripts, I often print to the output, as it helps debug the program.?
I am noticing that the output is extremely delayed
?
Is there anyway the output can be updated?
?
I use print statements so I can see where the application is currently processing, when I do print, I print the current time and date ?Then I pause the Script before processing more statements. I use statement like, time.sleep(10)
?
I’m wondering, if using this kind of statement to pause my script causes the output to pause also
?
?
