This Python script lets users set their own countdown duration by entering the number of seconds. It validates the input and displays a live timer until it reaches zero, announcing when time is up.

import time

def countdown(seconds):
    while seconds:
        mins, secs = divmod(seconds, 60)
        timer = '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(mins, secs)
        print(timer, end="\r")
        time.sleep(1)
        seconds -= 1
    print("Time's up!")

try:
    user_input = int(input("Enter the number of seconds for the countdown: "))
    countdown(user_input)
except ValueError:
    print("Invalid input. Please enter an integer value.")
