Hi,

I think you're looking for 'sleep' in the time module.

 >>> import time
 >>> print "something"
 >>> time.sleep(1)
 >>> print "something else"

That should do what you're describing. Incidentally, 'sleep' takes a 
float, not an int. So you can use time.sleep(1.5) to pause for one and a 
half seconds, and so forth.

Hope that helps! If anyone knows a better way, feel free to correct me. 
I've only just started to learn Python myself.
