def fib():
a, b = 0, 1
while 1:
yield a
a, b = b, a + b

fib = Indexable(fib())
fib[10] #144

###retry
Decorator for retrying a function if exception occurs.

###run_async

```python
from python_utils.iterators import isplitter

for x in isplitter(xrange(1000), 100):
print x #[0,...,99], [100,...,199]...[900,...,999]
