retry-reloaded 0.0.3

A simple Python library for retrying functions with various backoff and callback strategies.

retry

A simple, yet powerful, generic retry decorator in Python for retrying functions with various backoff and callback strategies.

Install

pip install retry-reloaded

Features:

• Exception Handling: Retry based on specific exceptions.
• Maximum Retries: Set the maximum number of retry attempts.
• Timeout: Specify the maximum time in seconds to spend on retries. Timeout check happens right before retry execution of the wrapped function.
• Deadline: Define a deadline in seconds for retries to complete. Deadline check happens right after the retry execution of the wrapped function.
• Backoff Strategies: Choose from various backoff strategies: fixed, exponential, linear, random
• Retry Callback: Execute a callback function between retry attempts.
• Successful Retry Callback: Perform an action after a successful retry.
• Failure Callback: Define a callback function after failing all retries.
• Logging control: Define which logger (or no logger) to use for logging retries and exceptions.

API

• Decorator: retry
• Retry exceptions: MaxRetriesException, RetriesTimeoutException, RetriesDeadlineException
• Callback factory: CallbackFactory, callback_factory
• Backoff strategies: FixedBackOff, LinearBackOff, ExponentialBackOff, RandomUniformBackOff
