How to delay a command in Python?

Question

Let's say we have two commands:

print("Hello")
print("How are you?")

If we execute this, we will get these two sentences printed.

I want the command 2 to be executed after 5 seconds the command 1 is executed. Is it possible to achieve this in Python?

please specify if you want to just wait for 5 seconds or run the second command in an async manner, meaning that if you put a 3d command after the 2d one, the will get executed in the order: `1, 3, [delay] 2` — YakovL, Dec 18 '18 at 20:41
