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

Answer 1

Method to retry certain logic if some exception has occured at time intervals t1=1 sec, t2=2 sec, t3=4 sec. We can increase/decrease the time interval as well.

MAX_RETRY = 3
retries = 0

try:

    call_to_api() // some business logic goes here.

except Exception as exception:

    retries += 1
    if retries <= MAX_RETRY:
        print("ERROR=Method failed. Retrying ... #%s", retries)
        time.sleep((1 << retries) * 1) // retry happens after time as a exponent of 2
        continue
    else:
        raise Exception(exception)
