You supply a retry policy function that receives information about each failure (attempt count, exception, elapsed time) and returns a decision: either abandon and raise the exception, or sleep for a specified delay before retrying. The decorator handles the async sleep and retry loop for you.\n\nIt supports flexible policy definitions\u2014functions, methods, class methods, or static methods\u2014and optional before-retry callbacks for logging or side effects. The library works with instance methods, class methods, and standalone async functions, making it suitable for network operations, database queries, or any async task that might transiently fail.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need retry logic for async code. The library is lightweight, dependency-free, and straightforward to integrate. The aging maintenance status (540 days since release) is not a blocker\u2014the API is stable and the recent repository activity suggests the maintainer is responsive. No known vulnerabilities. Install if your async workload benefits from configurable retry policies; skip if you prefer a heavier framework or have simple fixed-delay retry needs."},"id":"aioretry","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioretry","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioretry.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aioretry/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aioretry","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Asyncio retry utility for Python 3.7+"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":130941,"position":11618,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.3.1"}
