This is the doc of setTimeout:
"""Set a timeout function to be triggered if I am not called.
@param seconds: How long to wait (from now) before firing the
timeoutFunc.
@param timeoutFunc: will receive the Deferred and *args, **kw as
its
arguments. The default timeoutFunc will call the errback with a
L{TimeoutError}.
DON'T USE THIS! It's a bad idea! Use a function called by
reactor.callLater instead
to accomplish the same thing!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
"""
Any reason why not? It seems to me that setTimeout just calls
reactor.callLater()
