ReAttempt is a Python library that provides a decorator to automatically retry a function when exceptions are raised. It uses an exponential backoff strategy to wait between retries, ensuring that the function has multiple chances to succeed before ultimately failing.

poetry add reattempt

Usage

@reattempt
def hello_world():
  print("Hello World")
  raise Exception("failure")
