Here is another one for fun, you run it like
python countdown.py 10

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
from time import sleep

times = int(sys.argv[1]) # The argument given on the command line

def countdown(n):
     try:
         while n != 1:
             n = n-1
             print n
             sleep(1)
     finally:
         print 'Blast Off!'

countdown(times)
