retry

✓ from python_retry import retry

✗ from retry import retry

Decorate a function to retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff.

from retry import retry @retry(count=3, delay=1, backoff=2) def unstable_call(): import random if random.random() < 0.7: raise ValueError("transient error") return "success" print(unstable_call())

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe @retry decorator does not catch exceptions by default; it only retries on exceptions that inherit from Exception. If your function raises BaseException directly (e.g., SystemExit), it will not be retried.

fix

Ensure your functions raise Exception subclasses, or use the 'exceptions' parameter to specify custom exception types.

affects: all

gotchaThe backoff parameter is multiplicative, not additive. For example, with delay=1 and backoff=2, delays are 1, 2, 4 seconds. Users often expect additive backoff (e.g., 1, 2, 3).

fix

Set backoff=1 for constant delay; otherwise, calculate expected delays accordingly.
