In patch https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=428326&groupid=5470&atid=305470 a new threading.Timer class is proposed. Since the patch was submitted two months ago, nobody seemed to care enough to comment on it. I like it, and I'll commit the patch unless I hear otherwise.

I'm not objecting, precisely, but I have an allergic reaction to the way timed Event() works, even though there's really no other way to work it. I think that encouraging people to use it is a Bad Idea.
