[issue12459] time.sleep(-1.0) behaviour

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

I agree with the ValueError suggestion. Since it would slightly change existing behaviour, it can only be done in a feature release (3.3).

According to Google Code Search, deliberate uses of sleep(-1) are almost non-existent:
