Override retry limits with decorated function's parameter

[felixonmars]

I would like to allow for overriding the decorator's kwargs while calling the decorated function. A simplified example use case is:

@retry
def request(url):
      return "TADA"

request("someurl", retry_options=dict(stop_max_attempt_number=3))

I can send a pull request if the idea is acceptable. Thanks!

You could do something like this:

def request(url, retry_options):
    @retry(**retry_options)
    def request_retry(*args, **kwargs):
        print 'Running request...'
        raise IOError('Error!')
        return "TADA"
    return request_retry(url)

try:
    request("someurl", retry_options=dict(stop_max_attempt_number=3))
except IOError as e:
    print e
