#22 timer-applet Python code contains several syntax errors

[Martin Olsson]

Given that I just ran into this bug a few moment ago:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2874996&group_id=127778&atid=709446

... I was thinking that you probably just wrote this Python code without running it through a static analysis tool.
Since Python doesn't do static type checking, it's easy to ship buggy code; code that can never run correctly.

It would be neat if you took some time to run pylint, pyflakes and pychecker on timer-applet. This will most certainly find some real bugs!
For example, these are all the syntax _errors_ (not warnings but hard errors) that pylint finds in timer-applet.

(PS. Thanks for a great applet, I use it every day!)
