AWS Lambda - How to stop retries when there is a failure

Question

I know that when a Lambda function fails (for example when there is a time out), it tries to run the function 3 more times again. Is there any way to avoid this behavior? I\

If using python then need to put the code in try/catch block as well however there will be no callback. For example:

try:
    do_something()
except Exception as e:
    print('Error: ' + str(e))

Since the error has been handled, Lambda will not retry.
