How to add this function in my Rubik's Cube Timer?

So here is the code i used to make this timer:

import tkinter as tk
import time
import keyboard

class RubiksTimerApp:
    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root
        self.root.title("Rubik's Cube Timer")

        self.start_time = None
        self.running = False
        self.elapsed_time = 0

        self.timer_label = tk.Label(root, text="0.000", font=("Helvetica", 72))
        self.timer_label.pack(pady=30)

        keyboard.on_press_key("space", self.space_pressed)
        keyboard.on_release_key("space", self.space_released)

        self.root.geometry("400x300")  # Set the window dimensions
        self.root.mainloop()

    def space_pressed(self, event):
        if not self.running:
            self.start_time = None  # Reset start_time
            self.timer_label.config(text="0.000")  # Reset the timer display

    def space_released(self, event):
        if not self.running:
            self.running = True
            self.start_time = time.time()
            self.elapsed_time = 0  # Reset elapsed_time when starting the timer
            self.update_timer()
        else:
            self.running = False
            elapsed_time = time.time() - self.start_time
            self.elapsed_time += elapsed_time

    def update_timer(self):
        if self.running:
            current_time = time.time() - self.start_time + self.elapsed_time
            self.timer_label.config(text=f"{current_time:.3f}")
        self.root.after(10, self.update_timer)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk()
    app = RubiksTimerApp(root)

and I want to add I want a function so when you release the space bar to start the timer, it will only start if you have held the spacebar for at least 0.5 seconds before releasing it.

Simply record the two time when the spacebar is pressed and released, and then calculate the difference to determine whether to start the timer:

import time
import tkinter as tk

class RubiksTimerApp(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.geometry("400x300")
        self.title("Rubik's Cube Timer")

        self.running = False
        self.pressed_time = None   # for storing the time when spacebar is pressed

        self.timer_label = tk.Label(self, text="0.000", font=("Helvetica", 72))
        self.timer_label.pack(pady=30)

        # use tkinter binding instead of using keyboard module
        self.bind("<KeyPress-space>", self.space_pressed)
        self.bind("<KeyRelease-space>", self.space_released)

    def space_pressed(self, event):
        if self.pressed_time is None:
            # record the start time of pressing the spacebar
            self.pressed_time = time.time()

    def space_released(self, event):
        if not self.running:
            # check whether the spacebar has been pressed for more than half a second
            if (time.time() - self.pressed_time) >= 0.5:
                self.running = True
                self.start_time = time.time()
                self.update_timer()
        else:
            self.running = False
        self.pressed_time = None

    def update_timer(self):
        if self.running:
            elapsed_time = time.time() - self.start_time
            self.timer_label.config(text=f"{elapsed_time:.3f}")
            self.after(10, self.update_timer)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = RubiksTimerApp()
    app.mainloop()
