order_book.py and time.sleep(10) #238

Hello,

I was wondering why do we need: time.sleep(10) (line:291 in order_book.py)?

Thanks!

When orderbook is initialized, it fetches the current order book from gdax first here, then it feeds all these open orders into the rbtree. These 2 operations take a little time, and the orderbook will not work correctly until they complete.
