Make Python program wait an amount of time

I want my python program to wait before continuing the loop. But the other functions, loops usw. should work. If I use the sleep-function the whole program would sleep. Example:

import pygame

def function():
   print("You moved forward")

turtle.listen()
turtle.onkey(function, "f")

print("use f to move forward")
(Wait 5 seconds, so the player can try pressing f and sees what happens)

Thats a simple version of my original code. I want the player to try WASD cause the character is moved with WASD.

If I'd use time.sleep() it won't work if the player presses f.

Thanks for any answer :D

-> btw sry for my bad english...

If you want to wait for 5 seconds but not sleep then you can maybe try with a loop and measure the running time of the loop. Something like this maybe:

First make sure pytictoc is installed by running pip install pytictoc

Then run a loop like this maybe:

from pytictoc import TicToc
t = TicToc() #create instance of class
t.tic() #Start timer
while (t.tocvalue()<5):
    pass
t.toc()
