Python Retry Library: How to Check Retry Count

You can check the count of retries in the Python retry library by using the 'retry.statistics' module. Here's an example:

from retry import retry, RetryError, statistics

@retry(exceptions=(RetryError,), tries=3)
def my_function():
    # Some code here that may raise a RetryError
    pass

my_function()

print(statistics.get(my_function))  # Returns a dictionary of statistics

The 'statistics.get()' method returns a dictionary containing the retry statistics for the specified function. The dictionary contains the following keys:

• 'calls': The number of times the function was called (including retries).
• 'failures': The number of times the function raised an exception.
• 'retries': The number of times the function was retried (excluding the initial call).
• 'started_at': The time the first call was made.
• 'ended_at': The time the last call completed.
• 'elapsed_time': The total elapsed time for all calls.

You can use the 'retries' key to get the count of retries.
