yes, the doc of Timer says it is a subclass of Thread, and therefore runs in
a new thread.
By the way, your program isn't even correct Python, so how can it give the
output you have written down?
When I run a similar (but corrct python) program, I do get an exception,
but it is in another thread, and therefore not caught.
You can post a signal to the main thread, however, to catch the exception:
def TimeoutHandler():
print '!'
os.kill(0, signal.SIGUSR1)
def handler():
raise Exception
class Active:
def __init__(self):
signal.signal(signal.SIGUSR1, handler)
timer = Timer(1, TimeoutHandler)
etc.
