Hmmm... not so simple for me. My test code:
from time import *
import threading
import sys
def hello():
raise ValueError("hello!!!")
t = threading.Timer(3.0,hello)
t.start()
try:
print "start"
sleep(5)
print "end"
except ValueError as e:
print e.args[0]
sys.exit(1)
gives:
start
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner

def hello(): raise ValueError("hello!!!")
ValueError: hello!!!
end
