Answer 1

In python 2.7 you can use the sleep method. See here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/time.html#time.sleep

Answer 2

You can look at apscheduler. Ir allows you to run scheduled repetitive tasks

Answer 3

You can sleep for 5 seconds, then execute a determined functionB. But you can't assure to run the functionB for a determined number of seconds unless you sleep it too. For example:

import time

def funcA():
    secs = 5
    time.sleep(secs)  # Sleep 5 seconds
    funcB()

def funcB():
    secs = 10
    time.sleep(secs)  # Sleep 10 seconds

You can also make this in a thread.
