First - AWESOME! I sure gonna use this one.

In the docstring: "exceptions: Exeption(s) that trigger a retry, can be a tuble"
I guess you meant "tuple", right?

@liorbunzl Thanks so much! Appreciate it :)

Your comment made me laugh :) Had to think about bubbles. But jupp, ofc you are right. Thx for pointing it out.

Thanks for this code. Really helpful :)

One doubt, in line no 22, Is there any reason why you've set _tries = total_tries + 1. Can't it just be _tries= total_tries? And check while _tries > 0

Hi @FBosler,

I would like to reuse your code, do you have a open source license attached to it?

@arthur-c Sure I added it :)

Thank you!

nice when you randomly stumble onto your ex-managers code
