Hmmm... not so simple for me. My test code:

from time import *
import threading
import sys

def hello(): 
raise ValueError("hello!!!")

t = threading.Timer(3.0,hello)
t.start()
try:
  print "start"
  sleep(5)
  print "end"
except ValueError as e:
  print e.args[0]
  sys.exit(1)


gives:


start
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 759, in run
    self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
  File "x.py", line 7, in hello
    def hello(): raise ValueError("hello!!!")
ValueError: hello!!!

end
