[issue17435] threading.Timer.__init__() should use immutable argument defaults for args and kwargs

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I agree with the OP -- it's a simple fix and the current code definitely violates our recommendations.  I see no reason not to submit this (if there's nothing *else* wrong with it -- it actually seems pretty complete).  Not sure how important it is to fix in 2.7, but I don't see a problem with it either.
