Verified usage

patch_conn

✓ from django_dbconn_retry import patch_conn

✗ from djangodbconnretry import patch_conn

Call patch_conn() after Django setup to enable automatic retries on connection failures.

import os os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproject.settings') import django django.setup() from djangodbconnretry import patch_conn patch_conn() # Now all DB connections will retry on failure

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package only retries connection-time errors, not query-time errors (e.g., deadlocks). It wraps the database wrapper's get_new_connection method, so transient query failures are NOT retried.

fix

Understand the scope: only initial connection failures are retried. For query retries, consider other tools like django-tenacity.

affects: all

gotchapatch_conn() must be called after django.setup() but before any database access. If called too early (before settings are loaded) or too late (after connections already attempted), it may not work as expected.

fix

Ensure django.setup() is called before patch_conn() in your manage.py or wsgi.py setup.

affects: all

deprecatedThe package appears unmaintained (last release 2018). It may not work with Django 2.1+ without modifications due to changes in database backends.

fix

Test with your Django version; consider alternatives like custom database backends or django-retry-if-fails.

affects: Django >= 2.1
