try-except inside a loop

Question

I need to invoke method f. If it raises an IOError, I need to invoke it again (retry), and do it at most three times. I need to log any other excep

Answer 1

You can write a retry decorator:

import time

def retry(times=3, interval=3):
    def wrapper(func):
        def wrapper(*arg, **kwarg):
            for i in range(times):
                try:
                    return func(*arg, **kwarg)
                except:
                    time.sleep(interval)
                    continue
            raise
        return wrapper
    return wrapper


//usage
@retry()
def fun():
    import inspect; print inspect.stack()[0][3]
    return "result"

print fun()
