time.sleep is not exactly accurate, so I would suggest that you use this
method, short 5 minutes or so and then do a sleep(10) or so in a loop to get
closer to the time.
>>import time
>>b = '20:00:00'
>>
>>(bhour, bmin, bsec) = b.split(':')
>>bsec = int(bsec) + int(bmin)*60 + int(bhour)*360
>>
>>while True:
>> act = time.localtime()
>> actsec = act.tm_sec + act.tm_min*60 + act.tm_hour*360
>> wait = bsec - actsec
>> if wait < 0:
>> wait += 360*24 # it will be tomorrow
>> time.sleep(wait)
>> print 'I am doing!'
>> break
