Fair enough. Here's the verbose version:

Works for me in the following slightly-adjusted form (easier for testing):
def alarm(wakeuptime):
#wakeuptime = input('hours: '), input('minutes: ')
onehourlater = (wakeuptime[0]+1, wakeuptime[1])
while not wakeuptime < localtime(time())[3:5] < onehourlater:
sleep(3)
print 'PLAY A SOUND FILE'
print localtime(time())[3:5]
>>> localtime(time())
(2005, 3, 26, 11, 37, 58, 5, 85, 0)
>>> alarm((11,38))
PLAY A SOUND FILE
(11, 39)
