Something like this?

import time

while True:
    print 'Hello'
    time.sleep(1)

[PaulNL]

when i use that i get an error IndentationError: expected an idented block

i have made a second script to work with the first script

while true;
do python status.py ;
sleep 5s ;
done

i cant get it all in the same file

Just do it in Python, there's no need for a calling script.

Python needs the content of the loop indented consistently, i.e. the same number of spaces for each line within the indent.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import time

while True:
    os.system("clear")
    os.system("sudo virsh -c qemu:///system list")
    time.sleep(5)

I've added the shebang line at the top so it runs as a script. Don't forget to 'chmod +x'.

when i use your script i get an error se thread above

The TAB/space characters could get messed up when pasting from the browser window. Delete the spaces, and re-insert them manually.
