How to implement retry mechanism into python requests library?

Question

I would like to add a retry mechanism to python request library, so scripts that are using it will retry for non fatal errors.

At this moment I do consider three kin

This is a snippet of code I used to retry for the petitions made with urllib2. Maybe you could use it for your purposes:

retries = 1
success = False
while not success:
    try:
        response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
        success = True
    except Exception as e:
        wait = retries * 30;
        print 'Error! Waiting %s secs and re-trying...' % wait
        sys.stdout.flush()
        time.sleep(wait)
        retries += 1

The waiting time grows incrementally to avoid be banned from server.
