improved-backoff 1.1

Fork of a popular backoff library with a few fixed bugs

improved_backoff

Function decoration for backoff and retry

This is a fork of an excellent Python library backoff. The library was forked from version 2.2.1 (October 5, 2022) This version includes 2 PRs proposed in the original repo:

• Correct check for max_time parameter
• Using "timeit" module for time management

The updated behavior of max_time is that a a function will be retried only if the elapsed time is less, than max_time. Also the remaining time should exceed the interval (delay between retries).

In order to use this module import it under backoff alias and use it the same way as the original module

import improved_backoff as backoff

@backoff.on_exception(backoff.expo, requests.exceptions.RequestException)
def get_url(url):
    return requests.get(url)
