Question

The code

import logging
from tenacity import retry, wait_incrementing, stop_after_attempt
import tenacity


@retry(wait=wait_incrementing(start=10, increment=10, max=100), stop=stop_after_attempt(3))
def print_msg():
    logging.info('Hello')
    logging.info("World")
    raise Exception('Test error')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig(
        format='%(asctime)s,%(msecs)d %(levelname)-8s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s',
        datefmt='%d-%m-%Y:%H:%M:%S',
        level=logging.INFO)
    logging.info('Starting')
    print_msg()

output

How to log it's retrying? Such as

Error. Retrying 1...
...
Error. Retrying 2...
...

Answer 1

You can write your own callback function to get attempt_number from retry_state .

code:

def log_attempt_number(retry_state):
    """return the result of the last call attempt"""
    logging.error(f"Retrying: {retry_state.attempt_number}...")

log the attempt after every call of the function as shown below

@retry(wait=wait_incrementing(start=10, increment=10, max=100),
       stop=stop_after_attempt(3), 
       after=log_attempt_number)
