Please provide more details. What do you want your program to do while sleeping? What kind of actions do you want a response to?
Do you have a GUI? A curses-based interfase?

My app is purely console based. I just don't want the console to lock
up (on Windows using time.sleep(x) causes the console to become
unresponsive until the timer is done), and I want people to be able to
CTRL+C to stop the script if need be (which can't be done if it's
unresponsive!).

Thanks.

Which version of Python are you using? time.sleep(x) can be interrupted
in Python 2.6.

If the version you're using can't be interrupted then you could use
multiple sleeps:

# Wait for a total of 10 secs.
for i in range(10):
    time.sleep(1)
