[JdeRobot] Doubt about timing in some threads

[Victor Arribas]

Hi Samuel!

It could be too late, by the way here you are [1] a portable generic
alternative I did several time ago.
As you can see at main.py [2], it is backward compatible ;)

Just add it to your PYTHON_PATH or to dist-packages and enjoy it.
