Nice try, but you're passing *the result of calling e.set* as the function parameter to Timer. And the result of calling e.set () is None. So you're passing None as the function-to-call. Which it does. And then...
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
Try passing the function instead: threading.Timer (3.0, e.set).start () TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
