    Your computer is too fast.

    It takes the current time, tests whether the current second is one and then again. And since it is so fast it can do this within less than one second, you get more lines of output.

    Make it wait after each iteration:

    while True:
        now = datetime.datetime.now()
        if now.second == 1:
            print "One"
            time.sleep(59) # wait 59 seconds after success
        time.sleep(1) # wait 1 second after each fail
    

    This program will sleep most time. If you want it to do anything useful, it will be a different program.
