how to check if its the last retry in a function decorated by retrying library in python

The retrying library in Python does not provide a direct way to check if it's the last retry. However, you can achieve this by using the stop_max_attempt_number parameter in the retrying decorator.

You can set the stop_max_attempt_number parameter to the maximum number of retries you want to perform, and then use a counter variable to keep track of the number of retries that have been performed. When the counter reaches the maximum number of retries, you can assume that it's the last retry.

Here's an example:

import retrying

@retrying.retry(stop_max_attempt_number=3)
def my_function():
    if some_condition:
        # raise an exception to trigger a retry
        raise Exception("Something went wrong")
    
    # do something

# keep track of the number of retries
retry_count = 0

try:
    my_function()
except Exception:
    retry_count += 1
    if retry_count == 3:
        # this is the last retry
        print("Last retry")
    else:
        # there are more retries remaining
        print("Retrying...")

In this example, the my_function function is decorated with the retrying decorator with a maximum of 3 retries. When the function raises an exception, the decorator will automatically retry the function up to 3 times.

In the try block, we call the my_function function and catch any exceptions that are raised. We increment the retry_count variable each time the function is retried, and when the retry_count reaches 3, we assume that it's the last retry and print a message. If there are more retries remaining, we print a message indicating that the function is being retried
