===========================================================================================

``riprova`` (meaning ``retry`` in Italian) is a small, general-purpose and versatile `Python`_ library
that provides retry mechanisms with multiple backoff strategies for any sort of failed operations.

It's domain agnostic, highly customizable, extensible and provides a minimal API that's easy to instrument in any code base via decorators, context managers or raw API consumption.

For a brief introduction about backoff mechanisms for potential failed operations, `read this article`_.


Features
--------

- Retry decorator for simple and idiomatic consumption.
- Simple Pythonic programmatic interface.
- Maximum retry timeout support.
- Supports error `whitelisting`_ and `blacklisting`_.
- Supports custom `error evaluation`_ retry logic (useful to retry only in specific cases).
- Automatically retry operations on raised exceptions.
- Supports `asynchronous coroutines`_ with both ``async/await`` and ``yield from`` syntax.
- Configurable maximum number of retry attempts.
- Highly configurable supporting max retries, timeouts or retry notifier callback.
- Built-in backoff strategies: constant, `fibonacci`_ and `exponential`_ backoffs.
- Supports sync/async context managers.
- Pluggable custom backoff strategies.
- Lightweight library with almost zero embedding cost.
- Works with Python +2.6, 3.0+ and PyPy.


Backoff strategies
------------------

List of built-in backoff strategies.

- `Constant backoff`_
- `Fibonacci backoff`_
- `Exponential backoff`_

You can also implement your own one easily.
See `ConstantBackoff`_ for an implementation reference.


Installation
------------

Using ``pip`` package manager (requires pip 1.9+. Upgrade it running: ``pip install -U pip``):

.. code-block:: bash

pip install -U riprova

Or install the latest sources from Github:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install -e git+git://github.com/h2non/riprova.git#egg=riprova

Examples
^^^^^^^^

You can see more featured examples from the `documentation` site.

**Basic usage examples**:

.. code-block:: python

import riprova

@riprova.retry
def task():
"""Retry operation if it fails with constant backoff (default)"""

@riprova.retry(backoff=riprova.ConstantBackoff(retries=5))
def task():
"""Retry operation if it fails with custom max number of retry attempts"""

@riprova.retry(backoff=riprova.ExponentialBackOff(factor=0.5))
def task():
"""Retry operation if it fails using exponential backoff"""

@riprova.retry(timeout=10)
def task():
"""Raises a TimeoutError if the retry loop exceeds from 10 seconds"""

def on_retry(err, next_try):
print('Operation error: {}'.format(err))
print('Next try in: {}ms'.format(next_try))

@riprova.retry(on_retry=on_retry)
def task():
"""Subscribe via function callback to every retry attempt"""

def evaluator(response):
# Force retry operation if not a valid response
if response.status >= 400:
raise RuntimeError('invalid response status') # or simple return True
# Otherwise return False, meaning no retry
return False

@riprova.retry(evaluator=evaluator)
def task():
"""Use a custom evaluator function to determine if the operation failed or not"""

@riprova.retry
async def task():
"""Asynchronous coroutines are also supported :)"""


**Retry failed HTTP requests**:

.. code-block:: python

import pook
import requests
from riprova import retry

# Define HTTP mocks to simulate failed requests
pook.get('server.com').times(3).reply(503)
pook.get('server.com').times(1).reply(200).json({'hello': 'world'})


# Retry evaluator function used to determine if the operated failed or not
def evaluator(response):
if response != 200:
return Exception('failed request') # you can also simply return True
return False


# On retry even subscriptor
def on_retry(err, next_try):
print('Operation error {}'.format(err))
print('Next try in {}ms'.format(next_try))


# Register retriable operation
@retry(evaluator=evaluator, on_retry=on_retry)
def fetch(url):
return requests.get(url)


# Run task that might fail
fetch('http://server.com')
