Sys

Overview

Sys is a class in Aspose.Font FOSS for Python.

Sys.sleep(seconds) pauses execution for the specified number of seconds; the argument may be a float for sub‑second precision.

This class provides 21 methods for working with Sys objects in Python programs. Available methods include: args, command, cpuTime, environment, executablePath, exit, getChar, getCwd, getEnv, print, println, programPath, and 9 additional methods. All public members are accessible to any Python application after installing the Aspose.Font FOSS for Python package.

Methods

SignatureDescription
time()Returns the current system time in seconds since the epoch
exit(code)Terminates the program using the supplied exit code
print(v)writes a value to standard output without a trailing newline, whileSys.println(v)` appends a newline
println(v)Writes the given value to standard output followed by a newline
args()Returns a list of command‑line arguments passed to the script
getEnv(s)Calls getEnv on this Sys instance.
putEnv(s, v)Sets the environment variable s to the value v
environment()Returns a dictionary containing all current environment variables
sleep(seconds)Pauses execution for the specified number of seconds; the argument may be a float for sub‑second precision
setTimeLocale(loc)Sets the locale used for time‑related formatting functions
getCwd()Returns the current working directory as a string path
setCwd(s)Changes the current working directory to the path s
systemName()Returns the name of the operating system platform
command(cmd, args)Executes the external command cmd with argument list args and returns its result
cpuTime()Returns the amount of CPU time consumed by the current process
executablePath()Calls executablePath on this Sys instance.
programPath()Returns the file system path of the currently running script
getChar(echo)Reads a single character from stdin; if echo is true, the character is echoed to stdout
stdin()Returns the file‑like object representing standard input
stdout()Returns the file‑like object representing standard output
stderr()Returns the file‑like object representing standard error
