It wraps functions (both sync and async) with automatic retry logic that catches known ephemeral errors like RPC timeouts, rate-limiting responses, and connection failures. When a decorated function fails, eth_retry sleeps for a randomized backoff period (scaled by retry count) before trying again, up to a configurable maximum number of attempts. This is especially useful in blockchain development where external APIs and nodes frequently experience temporary outages or rate limits.\n\nThe library requires no external dependencies and is configured entirely through environment variables: MAX_RETRIES (default 10), MIN_SLEEP_TIME (default 10 seconds), and MAX_SLEEP_TIME (default 20 seconds). The randomized sleep window helps prevent thundering-herd problems when multiple parallel requests retry simultaneously.","worth_installing":"Yes. eth_retry solves a real pain point in Ethereum development with zero dependencies, active maintenance, and a permissive license. If you write code that calls blockchain RPCs or external APIs, this decorator will save you from writing boilerplate retry logic and help you handle transient failures gracefully."},"id":"eth-retry","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eth-retry","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eth-retry.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/eth-retry/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"eth-retry","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Provides a decorator that automatically catches known transient exceptions that are common in the Ethereum/EVM ecosystem and reattempts to evaluate your decorated function"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":158377,"position":10726,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.8"}
