 and as such also functions as an example of creating custom threads.

 Timers are started, as with threads, by calling their :meth:`~Timer.start`
 method.  The timer can be stopped (before its action has begun) by calling the
 :meth:`~Timer.cancel` method.  If action has returned True then next run is
 scheduled after the timer interval. The interval the timer will wait before
 executing its action may not be exactly the same as the interval specified
