You can make Python execution pause by using the sleep() function in the 
time module:

import time
[...snip...]
# And now, five minutes of silence...
time.sleep(300)
[...snip...]

If you're using Tkinter, you can use root.after(<n>,<func>) to make the 
function <func> run after <n> milliseconds.  This only makes the function 
get called once; to make it get called again, make another call to 
root.after() inside <func>.
