While the other answers rely on external programs, you can do the same inside python.


Using `time.sleep()` If you don't need to do any other tasks during this 10 min.

```
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import time

def doThisIn10min():
  # Replace this with the function you need to do in 10min
  # Or call a other program with subprocess
  print("doThisIn10min() executed")


#do something here

#We are done, lets execute doThisIn10min() in 10 min
time.sleep(10*60)
doThisIn10min()
```

If you need to do other tasks, you can spawn a second thread.
```
#!/usr/bin/env python3

from threading import Thread
import time

def taskWeDoIn10min():
  print("taskWeDoIn10min() started")
  time.sleep(10*60) #wait 10 min
  # Insert here whit the code you want to execute in 10min
  print("taskWeDoIn10min() executed")

def doThisInTheMeantime():
  # Replace this with the code you want to execute in the meantime
  for i in range(50):
    time.sleep(10)
    print("inside doThisInTheMeantime()")

t = Thread( target=taskWeDoIn10min )
t.start() #Background task to sleep 10 min and then execute <something> 
doThisInTheMeantime() #In the mean time, we can do other things
t.join() #Wait till the background task ended
print("All ended")
```

Yet a other method is to use the `sched` module.
