You assume that Timer is looping - it isn't. So make your command start a
Timer itself, like this:

def command():
    print "called"
    t = threading.Timer(2, command )
    t.start()


Or use a Thread, with an endless loop in the run()-method that sleeps for
two secdonds. That spares you the overhead of thread-creation.
