Petr's solution indeed should work indeed. A couple of notes:

- gtk_timeout_add translated to Python as gtk.timeout_add. Similarly,
g_timeout_add translates to glib.timeout_add. That said, as Petr pointed
out, gobject.timeout_add will work too (assuming it isn't or doesn't
become deprecated too)

- I may be wrong (don't know what you're trying to do exactly), but I
guess the second argument should probably be self.color_cycle_timeout
(without the brackets)
