Well, normally one actually does some useful computation in a while 1:
loop, which breaks up the computation into interruptible operations.
If you /absolutely/ want a break in there, you need the time module
and the sleep function therein:

    >>> import time
    >>> while 1:
    >>>     time.sleep(1)
    >>>     pass

The above gets you a 1sec break every time through the loop.  Adjust
to taste.
