Answer 1

The sched module provides these abilities for general Python code. However, as its documentation suggests, if your code is multithreaded it might make more sense to use the threading.Timer class instead.

Answer 2

Things work differently in Python: you need to either sleep() (if you want to block the current thread) or start a new thread. See http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html

Answer 3

From Python Documentation:

from threading import Timer

def hello():
    print "hello, world"

t = Timer(30.0, hello)
t.start() # after 30 seconds, "hello, world" will be printed

Answer 4

Can you explain in more detail what your purpose is?

Depending on what you're doing, a system utility like cron might be what you want.
