[Tutor] wait() or other pause functions, if any?

[Rob Andrews]

This may not be what you're looking for, but the time.sleep is handy for 
a good many things. Here's an example:

#!/usr/bin/python
# sleeptest.py
#
import time

def sleeptest():
     time.sleep(5)
     print 'I have slept'

if __name__ == '__main__':
     sleeptest()
