Its not really recursive.
It passes itself as an argument to timer which will eventually call it 
again.
But that is not the same as recursion which actually makes the call 
inside
the function. So this should not encounter the usual problems with
recursive limits being reached.

'll leave others to comment on your other issues regarding the use
of Threading.timer because I have no real experience of its use.
