Newbie Help - Alarms

[Paul Jefferson]

Hi,
I'm new to this having previously done some programming in Game Maker.
In Game Maker there was a function (Alarm) that lets you run a block of code
run every x seconds without freezing up the whole program waiting for it.
Is there an equavalant for this built in Python beacuse I can't find it?
Thanks for any help,
Paul
