Bug report

Bug description:

# Add a code block here, if required
import time
input ("the ceiling says gullible on it!")
while True:
        print ("you are an idiot!")
        print ("hahahahahahahahah")
        time.sleep(.5)
        if input("IDIOT"):
         break

OS used: ubuntu 24.04.2
Found a bug in python3 where if the time.sleep is set to a value such as .5 then any break value may stop working in script (in the context of a loop).

CPython versions tested on:

3.14

Operating systems tested on:

Linux

I can't reproduce this.

Not funny.

I ran the following on Windows to make sure.

import time
while True:
        print ("line")
        time.sleep(.5)
        if input(">"):
            break

Sorry, as i just realized my mistake, it is closeable if you respond IDIOT to the prompt, my bad, im new to python.
