[Tutor] Waiting for input.

[Lloyd Kvam]

Do you want an automatic pause?
	import time
	time.sleep(5)	# sleep 5 seconds
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-time.html#l2h-1298

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/console-objects.html#l2h-567
Here you would issue a prompt and wait for user input.
	reply = raw_input("Press enter when you are ready to continue!")
