It handles transient failures like connection errors, timeouts, and server errors (5XX responses by default), with configurable backoff between retries. The package provides a simple `retry()` function that returns a configured Session, plus convenience subclasses like TSession (with default timeout) and RSession (with automatic raise_for_status).\n\nThe package requires Python 3.6+ and depends only on requests and urllib3. It's straightforward to use: call `retry()` to get a Session with retry behavior, then use it like any normal requests Session. You can customize retry count and backoff factor, though the package has been unmaintained since May 2023.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is simple, has low install friction, and solves a real problem for HTTP clients. However, it is abandoned (last commit May 2023) with no active maintenance, so use it only if you accept that bugs or incompatibilities with future requests versions will not be fixed. For new projects, consider whether a maintained alternative better fits your needs."},"id":"retry-requests","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/retry-requests","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/retry-requests.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/retry-requests/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-05-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"retry-requests","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Make requests's sessions auto-retry on failure."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":401064,"position":6931,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
