What about a combination of aquinas' answer and 'polling': (apologies for the mixture of languages)

def waitForNearlyAMinute:
    secsNow = DateTime.Now.Second;
    waitFor = 55 - secsNow;
    setupTimer(waitFor, pollForMinuteEdge)

def pollForMinuteEdge:
    if (DateTime.Now.Second == 0):
        print "Hello, World!";
        waitForNearlyAMinute();
    else:
        setupTimer(0.5, pollForMinuteEdge)
