If you need threading, what i would do is implementing a _remove
method like:
def _remove(self, rec): #try not to use __form, almost always an error
    self.records.remove(rec)

the Timer would become
Timer(ttl, self._remove, [(t, item)]) # t is the time that you got
before

And if you change the deque for a Queue.Queue, you don't even need a
Lock...
