Possible solution using retrying package

from retrying import retry
import requests


def retry_if_connection_error(exception):
    """ Specify an exception you need. or just True"""
    #return True
    return isinstance(exception, ConnectionError)

# if exception retry with 2 second wait  
@retry(retry_on_exception=retry_if_connection_error, wait_fixed=2000)
def safe_request(url, **kwargs):
    return requests.get(url, **kwargs)

response = safe_request('test.com')
