You are importing the time module first, then import some symbols from the
time module. This seems redundant to me. Note that after the "import
time", the name "time" refers to the module you imported...
> time = config.get("myvars", "time")
...but after this line it refers to something else, because you rebound it
to the object returned by "config.get(...)".

You're on the right track...
> time.sleep(2)
...because this time here doesn't refer to the time module but to the
output of "config.get(...)"! This object is a string object (type "str"),
and Python complains:
> AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'sleep'
I Hope that clarifies something! ;)
