title: Python Timer crashes the interpreter
body: <p>I'm new here and this is my first question. I'm making a game in Python 3.2.3 and I've come to a problem where a Timer object sometimes crashes the interpreter after calling it's <code>start()</code> method (it happens like 50% of the times, there is always an error window saying that Python stopped working and had to be terminated). </p>
  
  <p>I've been simplifying my code so I could locate the issue and I've discovered that this very simple code crashes my interpreter:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from threading import Timer
  
  def hello():
    print("hello, world")
  
  t = Timer(1.0, hello)
  t.start()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried repairing my Python instalation, which didn't work. I'm running Python under Windows 7 and unfortunatelly haven't had a chance to try another operating system so far, so if anyone has any experience with this issue, I would appreciate any solutions to this. Thanks everyone.</p>
