你可以有一个专门的函数使用返回短路结果。比如这样:

def my_function_with_retries(..., max_retries=100):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return my_function(...)
        except SomeSpecificException as error:
            logging.warning(f"Retrying after failed execution: {error}")

    raise SomeOtherException()

不使用那些丑陋的while循环的更“功能性”的方法:

def tryAgain(retries=0):
    if retries > 10: return
    try:
        # Do stuff
    except:
        retries+=1
        tryAgain(retries)

tryAgain()

更新2021-12-01:

自2016年6月起，不再维护重试包。 考虑使用活动的fork github.com/jd/tenacity，或者github.com/litl/backoff。

重试包是在失败时重试代码块的好方法。

例如:

@retry(wait_random_min=1000, wait_random_max=2000)
def wait_random_1_to_2_s():
    print("Randomly wait 1 to 2 seconds between retries")

如果您正在寻找的是重新尝试x次失败的尝试，那么单个for else循环可能就是您想要的。考虑这个例子，尝试了3次:

attempts = 3

for attempt in range(1, attempts+1):
    try:
        if attempt < 4:
            raise TypeError(f"Error raised on attempt: {attempt}")
        else:
            print(f'Attempt {attempt} finally worked.')
    except (TypeError) as error:
        print(f'Attempt {attempt} hit the exception.')
        continue
    else:
        break
else:
    print(f'Exit after final attempt: {attempt}')

print(f'\nGo on to execute other code ...')

给出输出:

Attempt 1 hit the exception.
Attempt 2 hit the exception.
Attempt 3 hit the exception.
Exit after final attempt: 3

Go on to execute other code ...

再试一次它就成功了

attempts = 4

给出输出:

Attempt 1 hit the exception.
Attempt 2 hit the exception.
Attempt 3 hit the exception.
Attempt 4 finally worked.

Go on to execute other code ...

我喜欢使用bool值，如下所示:

success = False
num_try = 0
while success is False:
    if num_try >= 10: # or any number
        # handle error how  you please
    try:
        # code
        success = True
    except Exception as e:
        # record or do something with exception if needed
        num_try += 1

重新尝试的替代方案:坚韧和退缩(2020年更新)

重新尝试库是以前的方法，但遗憾的是，它有一些bug，自2016年以来就没有任何更新。其他的选择似乎是后退和坚韧。在写这篇文章的时候，tenacity有更多的GItHub星(2.3k vs 1.2k)，并且最近更新了，因此我选择使用它。这里有一个例子:

from functools import partial
import random # producing random errors for this example

from tenacity import retry, stop_after_delay, wait_fixed, retry_if_exception_type

# Custom error type for this example
class CommunicationError(Exception):
    pass

# Define shorthand decorator for the used settings.
retry_on_communication_error = partial(
    retry,
    stop=stop_after_delay(10),  # max. 10 seconds wait.
    wait=wait_fixed(0.4),  # wait 400ms 
    retry=retry_if_exception_type(CommunicationError),
)()


@retry_on_communication_error
def do_something_unreliable(i):
    if random.randint(1, 5) == 3:
        print('Run#', i, 'Error occured. Retrying.')
        raise CommunicationError()

for i in range(100):
    do_something_unreliable(i)

上面的代码输出如下:

Run# 3 Error occured. Retrying.
Run# 5 Error occured. Retrying.
Run# 6 Error occured. Retrying.
Run# 6 Error occured. Retrying.
Run# 10 Error occured. Retrying.
