Try having your while loop like this   minutes   0  while run     start      current sec   timer       print current sec    if current sec    59        minutes   minutes   1       print   gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt    mins

You can really simplify this whole program by using time sleep   import time run   raw input  Start   gt     mins   0   Only run if the user types in  start  if run     start         Loop until we reach 20 minutes running     while mins    20          print   gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt      format mins             Sleep for a minute         time sleep 60            Increment the minute total         mins    1       Bring up the dialog box here

I want to create a kind of stopwatch that when minutes reach 20 minutes  brings up a dialog box   All you need is to sleep the specified time  time sleep   takes seconds to sleep  so 20   60 is 20 minutes   import time run   raw input  Start   gt     time sleep 20   60  your code to bring up dialog box

Your code s perfect except that you must do the following replacement   minutes    1  instead of mins   minutes   1   or  minutes   minutes   1  instead of mins   minutes   1   but here s another solution to this problem   def wait time in seconds       time sleep time in seconds   here it would be 1200 seconds  20 mins

import time def timer       now   time localtime time time       return now 5    run   raw input  Start   gt     while run     start      minutes   0    current sec   timer       print current sec    if current sec    59        mins   minutes   1       print   gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt  gt    mins    I was actually looking for a timer myself and your code seems to work  the probable reason for your minutes not being counted is that when you say that     minutes   0   and then     mins   minutes   1   it is the same as saying     mins   0   1   I m betting that every time you print mins it shows you  1  because of what i just explained   0 1  will always result in  1    What you have to do first is place your      minutes   0   declaration outside of your while loop  After that you can delete the     mins   minutes   1   line because you don t really need another variable in this case  just replace it with     minutes   minutes   1   That way minutes will start off with a value of  0   receive the new value of  0 1   receive the new value of  1 1   receive the new value of  2 1   etc   I realize that a lot of people answered it already but i thought it would help out more  learning wise  if you could see where you made a mistake and try to fix it Hope it helped  Also  thanks for the timer

mins   minutes   1   should be  minutes   minutes   1   Also    minutes   0   needs to be outside of the while loop

See Timer Objects from threading   How about   from threading import Timer  def timeout        print  Game over      duration is in seconds t   Timer 20   60  timeout  t start      wait for time completion t join     Should you want pass arguments to the timeout function  you can give them in the timer constructor   def timeout foo  bar None       print  The arguments were  foo      bar      format foo  bar    t   Timer 20   60  timeout  args   something    kwargs   bar    else      Or you can use functools partial to create a bound function  or you can pass in an instance-bound method
