GithubRetry

class github.GithubRetry.GithubRetry

A Github-specific implementation of urllib3.Retry

This retries 403 responses if they are retry-able. Github requests are retry-able when the response provides a “Retry-After” header, or the content indicates a rate limit error.

By default, response codes 403, and 500 up to 599 are retried. This can be configured via the status_forcelist argument.

By default, all methods defined in Retry.DEFAULT_ALLOWED_METHODS are retried, plus GET and POST. This can be configured via the allowed_methods argument.

Parameters:
  • secondary_rate_wait – seconds to wait before retrying secondary rate limit errors
  • kwargs – see urllib3.Retry for more arguments
increment(method=None, url=None, response=None, error=None, _pool=None, _stacktrace=None) → urllib3.util.retry.Retry

Return a new Retry object with incremented retry counters.

Parameters:
  • response (BaseHTTPResponse) – A response object, or None, if the server did not return a response.
  • error (Exception) – An error encountered during the request, or None if the response was received successfully.
Returns:

A new Retry object.
