Description
Adds a
with_retryhelper tomatrix/api.py, as discussed in #86 (review comment).Note:
matrix-nioalready retries 429s/timeouts internally (ClientConnectionError/TimeoutError/asyncio.TimeoutError), it does not cover other transport failures like a mid-request server disconnection. This is an additional mechanism for those failures that can still happen.Additionally, a new error,
MatrixApiErrorhas been added to handle possible API error and contain the retry information.Type of Change
