========================================
AWSRetry - Boto3 Retry/Backoff Decorator
========================================

AWSRetry is a Python Decorator that can be used to wrap boto3 function calls.
This function was built out of the need to get around a couple of common issues
when working with AWS API's.

* Query API Request Rate
* Eventual Consistency Model.

Exceptions that will get retried when encountered
-------------------------------------------------
* RequestLimitExceeded
* Unavailable
* ServiceUnavailable
* InternalFailure
* InternalError
* ^\w+.NotFound

This list can be extended. (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/errors-overview.html)

Quick Start
-----------
Install awsretry.

.. code-block:: sh

$ pip install awsretry

I will assume you know about setting up Boto3 Credentials, if not you can read
the instructions here http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/configuration.html

Keyword Arguments that AWSRetry.backoff accepts
-----------------------------------------------

* tries = The number of times to try before giving up. Default = 10
* delay = The initial delay between retries in seconds. Default = 3
* backoff = backoff multiplier e.g. value of 2 will double the delay each retry. Default = 1.1
* added_exceptions = Other exceptions to retry on, beyond the defaults. Default = list()

Examples
--------
Write a quick function that implements AWSRetry.backoff()

.. code-block:: python

#!/usr/bin/env python

import botocore
import boto3
from awsretry import AWSRetry

@AWSRetry.backoff()
def get_instances():
client = boto3.client('ec2')
try:
instances = client.describe_instances()
return instances
except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as e:
raise e

instances = get_instances()

Write a quick function that will overwrite the default arguments.

.. code-block:: python

#!/usr/bin/env python

import botocore
import boto3
from awsretry import AWSRetry

@AWSRetry.backoff(tries=20, delay=2, backoff=1.5, added_exceptions=['ConcurrentTagAccess'])
def create_tags():
client = boto3.client('ec2')
try:
resources = ['1-12345678891234']
tags = [{'Key': 'service', 'Value': 'web-app'}]
instances = client.create_tags(Resources=resources, Tags=tags)
except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as e:
raise e

create_tags()

Development
-----------
Assuming that you have Python and ``virtualenv`` installed, set up your
environment and install the required dependencies like this instead of
the ``pip install awsretry`` defined above:

.. code-block:: sh

$ git clone https://github.com/linuxdynasty/awsretry.git
$ cd awsretry
$ virtualenv venv
...
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -e .

Running Tests
-------------

You can run the tests by using tox which implements nosetest or run them
directly using nosetest.

.. code-block:: sh

$ tox
$ tox tests/test_awsretry.py
$ tox -e py27,py36 tests/
$ nosetest
