Describe your issue

Hi, First of all i want to say that I'm a complete newbie and got into python 2 weeks ago.. if i say something stupid kindly pardon me ..

so i am using message_User template and want to be able to choose delay between each message on my own so i was wondering if any expert here guide me on how i can add such option .... i want to be able to add custom delay in CMD ... lets say i want the bot wait 60 sec or 180 sec between each message .. i want the bot to ask me how much time i want it to go to sleep in between messages

i hope this explains what i want ..

thanks and kindly help me modify 👍

import time
from instabot import Bot

uname = ""
pw = ""
bot = Bot()
bot.login(username = uname, password = pw)

def is_int(num):
 try:
  int(num)
  return True
 except Exception:
  return False

while True:
 sleepTime = ""
 while not is_int(sleepTime):
  sleepTime = input("How long to wait for?")

 sleepTime = int(sleepTime)
 # put the code you want to use from message_user.py here

Please look up marking's on github. posting code random in a comment makes it very, very difficult to read it (almost impossible) If you read the code @scretr posted and you read the comment you can tell very very easliy to know where to post your code.

I am going to close this since it is not an issue with this bot.
