Scheduling Python Programs

How would you go about a having a function check something every ten minutes? I would like to check a directory for new files every ten minutes. I know python has a time library but can it be used for this?

time.sleep:

time.sleep(10*60)

you might want to look into cron or Scheduled Tasks services of the OS.
