Example of an RQ exception handler that allows three failures before moving to the failed queue

gistfile1.py

queues = []

def retry_handler(job, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):
    # Returning True moves the job to the failed queue (or continue to
    # the next handler)

    job.meta.setdefault('failures', 1)
    job.meta['failures'] += 1
    if job.meta['failures'] > 3 or isinstance(exc_type, (LookupError, CorruptImageError)):
        job.save()
        return True

    job.status = Status.QUEUED
    for queue_ in queues:
        if queue_.name == job.origin:
            queue_.enqueue_job(job, timeout=job.timeout)
            break
    else:
        return True  # Queue has disappeared, fail job

    return False  # Job is handled. Stop the handler chain.

queues.append(Queue(exc_handler=retry_handler))

Where does STATUS and queues come from?

I found status: from rq.job import Status

queues come from Queue
from rq import Queue
