retrying

[ihf]

I wanted to see if the retrying library would work. I used pip install under stash to install retrying (and six which seemed to be a dependency). Installed seemed to work but I tested and got this:

from retrying import retry
import random

@retry
def unrealiable():
... if random.randint(0,10) > 1:
... raise IOError("broken")
... else:
... return "awesome"
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/637EEB4B-60E1-4F48-A8E5-66F2C7D9FCA2/Documents/site-packages/retrying.py", line 42, in retry
return wrap_simple(dargs[0])
File "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/637EEB4B-60E1-4F48-A8E5-66F2C7D9FCA2/Documents/site-packages/retrying.py", line 36, in wrap_simple
@six.wraps(f)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'wraps'

Can anyone please tell me what I'm missing?

The version of the six module included in pythonista does not seem to have 'wraps' function. I did "pip install six" and then tried running the program. It worked. (After doing pip, reload pythonista. Otherwise old copy will be used.)

That's interesting because, not knowing that the six module was in Pythonista, I also did the pip install yet @retry fails. Can you reproduce the error I am seeing or does @retry work for you?

[abcabc]

Initially it gave the error that you have mentioned (i.e I am able to reproduce it. ) After installing six it works fine.

Try this code to check whether you have installed six properly

import six
print(six.__version__)
print(six.wraps)

Before the new six installation it prints "1.6.1" and gives error.

After the new six installation, it prints as follows.

1.10.0
<functions wraps at ...>

I think the problem must have been that I was not explicitly doing the import six so it must have been using the older version (without wraps). In any case it is working now. Thanks for your help!

Yes. Six 1.6.1 is built into Pythonista.
