Paul's example will work just fine. Also, AFAIK there's no existing twisted function to do replicate an asynchronous sleep() in this way.

What about Deferred.setTimeout? [2]http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.defer.Deferr... IMHO it solves similar problem.
Deferred.setTimeout is a poor API and is deprecated (despite what the automatically generated API docs think). <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/178> has some discussion (and links to more discussion) explaining what's wrong with it, and what a good replacement would look like. So please, don't use setTimeout, and definitely do not recommend it to others! -Andrew.
