@retry_later allows you to retry the execution of a function asynchronously in the background until it's done.
For example, you can retry sending an email until it's sent.
It's available on PyPI
pip install retry-later# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/krishnasism/retry-later.git
cd retry-later
# Create a virtual environment. You can use anything like venv or pipenv
python -m venv retry-later-venv
retry-later-venv/Scripts/activate
# Install dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# Install pre-commit hooks
pre-commit installSimply add @retry_later() to your function. This also works with async functions.
Look inside the examples folder for more examples!
Here's a simple demonstration:
from my_very_python_real_email_client import send_mail_to_friend, send_text_to_friend
import asyncio
# Create new event loop
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
# Import the decorator
from retry_later import retry_later
@retry_later(retry_interval=10, max_retries=5, exception=ConnectionError)
def send_email():
send_mail_to_friend(email="[email protected]", body="hi!")
@retry_later(retry_interval=10, max_retries=5, exception=ConnectionError)
async def send_a_text():
await send_text_to_friend(number="+123456789", body="hi! texting you")
send_email()
asyncio.run(send_a_text())
# Other stuff
print("Hi - I am here!! I complete before my_function!")
# event loop must be running for retry_later to work
loop.run_forever()
