If you want to do something simple like put a pause in program execution, the .sleep() method of the time module would do it.  For more complex things have a look at

For example:
from time import sleep
i = 0
while i < 5:
	print('hello')
	i += 1
	sleep(0.2)

what the sleep method does is to pause the function from executing for a particular time before it continue. it does not run the function at a set interval like setInterval() in JavaScript

import time
from datetime import datetime
i = 0
def setInterval(second):
        # code start
        print(i)
        print(datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
        # code end 
        time.sleep(second)
        setInterval(second)
setInterval(1)
0
