I am trying to create a program which takes a target time (like 16:00 today) and counts down to it, printing each second like this:

...
5
4
3
2
1
Time reached

How can I do this?

You can do this using python threading module also, something like this :

from datetime import datetime
import threading

selected_date = datetime(2017,3,25,1,30)

def countdown() : 
    t = threading.Timer(1.0, countdown).start()
    diff = (selected_date - datetime.now())
    print diff.seconds
    if diff.total_seconds() <= 1 :    # To run it once a day
        t.cancel()

countdown()

For printing "Click Now" when countdown gets over, you can do something like this :

from datetime import datetime
import threading

selected_date = datetime(2017,3,25,4,4)

def countdown() : 
    t = threading.Timer(1.0, countdown)
    t.start()
    diff = (selected_date - datetime.now())
    if diff.total_seconds() <= 1 :    # To run it once a day
        t.cancel()
        print "Click Now"
    else :
        print diff.seconds
countdown()

This will result in something like this every second :

2396
2395
2394
2393
...
