.. autoapisummary::

   quantify_scheduler.helpers.time.get_time
   quantify_scheduler.helpers.time.sleep



.. py:function:: get_time() -> float

   Return the time in seconds since the epoch as a floating point number.

   Acts as a wrapper around :func:`time.time` in order to make it testable.
   Mocking time.time() can conflicts with the internal python ticker thread.

   :returns: Time since epoch


.. py:function:: sleep(seconds: float) -> None

   Delay execution for a given number of seconds.

   The argument may be a floating point
   number for subsecond precision.

   :param seconds: The amount of time to wait.
