CherryPy has two simpler implementations for a PerpetualTimer and a BackgroundTask: http://cherrypy.org/browser/trunk/cherrypy/process/plugins.py#L424 . The BackgroundTask is less CPU consuming under Python 2.x. I guess the extended threading funtions in 3.2 make the implementation obsolete. Christian
