Configures the passed-in requests' Session to retry on failed requests due to connection errors, timeouts, specific HTTP response codes (5XX by default) and 30X redirections —anything that could fail.

Python 3.6+.

Basic usage:

from retry_requests import retry
my_session = retry()
my_session.get("http://foo.bar")

This get will retry three times in case of error waiting some time between retries. Errors could be:

• Waiting for the server to start answering for 5 seconds.
• No access to the server or a dropped connection.
• An HTTP answer of 500, 502, or 504.

You can change these defaults:

from retry_requests import retry
from requests import Session
my_session = retry(Session(), retries=5, backoff_factor=0.2)
my_session.get('https://foo.bar')

Check the function retry to know more about this configuration.

Note that you have a TSession, a Session with a default timeout, and RSession, a Session with a timeout that always raise_for_status(), for your convenience.

Just pip install retry-requests.
