canvas =Tkinter.Canvas(frame,bg = 'white',width=500, height=500)
canvas.pack()

def generate():
        
            canvas.create_oval(200,300,210,310) #my first oval
            time.sleep(2)
            canvas.create_oval(200,300,210,310) # my second oval

Please use the proper code tags around your code. Don't quote the whole thing or your code tags won't work.

Proper code tags are
[code=python]
your code here

[/code]

Please format your code so it is somewhat readable. Also, since your ovals are equal, how would you know the difference?

This how you might do it:

import Tkinter as tk

def generate():
    oval1()
    frame.after(2000, oval2)

def oval1():
    canvas.create_oval(200, 300, 210, 310, fill='red')

def oval2():
    canvas.create_oval(200, 300, 210, 310, fill='blue')

frame = tk.Frame()
frame.pack()

canvas = tk.Canvas(frame, bg='white', width=500, height=500)
canvas.pack()
            
button = tk.Button(frame, fg="blue", text="GENERATE", command=generate)
button.pack()

frame.mainloop()
