[issue10968] threading.Timer should be a class so that it can be derived

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I have now committed (a revised version of) the doc changes.

Like I said in the commit message, it is unfortunate that the underscore names were not kept as aliases and that RLock wasn't also converted to a class, but it is too late to fix that in 3.3.  If someone wants to do RLock in 3.4 they should open a new issue.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
stage: patch review -> committed/rejected
