A general-purpose Python retrying library providing a decorator API to add retry behavior to any function. It supports configurable stop conditions, wait strategies including exponential backoff, and retrying based on exceptions or returned results.

Use cases

• retry flaky network calls in python
• add exponential backoff to a function
• retry a function until it succeeds
• limit retries to a maximum number of attempts
• retry only on specific exceptions
• poll a remote endpoint with waits between attempts

When to choose

• you need a simple decorator-based retry mechanism in Python
• you want configurable stop and wait conditions like exponential backoff
• you need to retry based on exceptions or expected return values

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained library with recent updates
• you need async/await support
• you want advanced retry policies like jitter or circuit breaking
