You can put custom javascript which does service request every time the interval runs out. The service can be a custom endpoint which runs your python script.

var service = mvc.createService();
service.get('/services/custom_endpoint', params, function (err, response) {
    if (!err) {
       // do something
    }
});

@mdmaala, you can check out script command that you can execute through SPL. The documentation also has link to creation of a custom search command using python and other language.
