You can make it into a decorator which will make it easier for your
functions to code. I use this:
def retry_on_timeout(retries=3, secs=1):
"""A decorator to retry a given function performing db operations."""
def _decorator(func):
def _wrapper(*args, **kwds):
tries = 0
while True:
try:
tries += 1
return func(*args, **kwds)
except db.Timeout, e:
logging.debug(e)
if tries > retries:
raise e
else:
wait_secs = secs * tries ** 2
logging.warning("Retrying function %r in %d secs" % (func,
wait_secs))
time.sleep(wait_secs)
return _wrapper
return _decorator
