The time library is very useful:
>>> import time
>>> print "hello"
hello
>>> time.sleep(5)
# 5 second pause
>>> print "done"
done
That will pause all execution of the program for 5 seconds, during time.sleep(). If you want to do other things during the pause, it becomes a much more complicated question, and you should probably look into threading
