Take a look at signal.alarm.  That "rings the bell" so-to-speak.  You will
have to handle the SIGALRM signal yourself.

If you happen to use asyncore to do asynchronous I/O, I just posted a little
alarms module to my website that extends it to allow you to set and handle
multiple alarms.  It's at <http://manatee.mojam.com/~skip/python/>.
