Define wait times by function instead of variable about locust HOT 3 CLOSED

The intention of the current API isn't that one must specify a range, but rather just a default. To define your own waiting function one would just override the wait function and skip declaring min_wait and max_wait:

class User(Locust):
    def wait(self):
        """ my custom wait function """
        self._sleep(x)

However, I like the wait_time better (as long as the wait function is still there, in case one would like to hook into it), since the user won't need to know about either the sleep function or gevent.sleep().

I also think I like the random_between and constant proposal, but I would prefer the arguments to be specified in milliseconds.

Sure, be aware of the workings of gevent.sleep() feels something only power users should need to worry about.

Regarding milliseconds vs seconds: I see no use of going against the common practice in Python of using the unit of seconds. time.time() and time.sleep() both operate using seconds.

I think that when specifying two integers, the chance that someone wrongly assumes that it will chose an integer between the two, will increase. I can certainly see myself doing it.

I would prefer milliseconds but it's no deal breaker, since they both work of course :).
