You cannot.

Generally you can just use a much shorter sleep time, and a loop
that checks for the condition which interests you.

while True:
     if userWantsToContinue():
         break
     time.sleep(0.25)	# wait a short time


The implementation of userWantsToContinue() depends of course on
what you want it to do.  If you need help with that, be sure to
indicate what platform you're on so the answers can be meaningful
if the solution (as is likely in this case) is not platform-
independent.
