Hi,

time.sleep() function is not working on Windows host if I use C API Py_InitializeEx(0) function.

Issue could be reproduce with following simple example.

int main()
{
   Py_InitializeEx(0);
   PyRun_SimpleString("import time \n"
		      "start = time.time() \n"
		      "time.sleep(4) \n"
		      "print('elapsed: %d' % (time.time() - start))");
}

output:

elapsed: 0


Note, issue is not reproduce on Linux host.
