iI have a module blah.time where iI do some sanity checks and wrapper functions around normal time and date operations:

import time

def sleep(n):
    time.sleep(n)

when i use this codeWhen I call sleep, it just throws a maximum recursion error. i'mI'm guessing the namespace is wrong, so iI tried using import time as _time, but iI still get the same error.

howHow do iI reference the system time module from within my own module in order to prevent this namespace conflict?
