def mainPage():
    aFunction() #takes 1 min to run

Hello daviddoyyer32

If you intended a to have a buffer of a certain time then there are multiple ways to do it.
One of the easiest way is to use the sleep method(function) from the time package.

Code:

Python

import time
def aFunction():
    time.sleep(60) # Delay for 1 minute (60 seconds).

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks and Regards.
