Arguably you could write :
# Create a callback timer
alarm = Timer()
alarm.SetDuration( 100, Timer.Milliseconds )
upon alarm.success:
print "It's time to get up, silly-head!"
upon alarm.failure:
print "The clock is broken, you can go back to bed"
(or @upon(alarm.success) for the suggested decorator equivalent)
Which would resolve to something like :
def _cb():
print "It's time to get up, silly-head!"
alarm.success.__upon__(_cb)
def _cb():
print "The clock is broken, you can go back to bed"
alarm.failure.__upon__(_cb)
