The Python requests module is simple and elegant but one thing bugs me.
It is possible to get a requests.exception.ConnectionError with a message like:
Max retries exceeded with url: ...
This implies that requests can attempt to access the data several times. But there is not a single mention of this possibility anywhere in the docs. Looking at the source code I didn’t find any place where I could alter the default (presumably 0) value.
So is it possible to somehow set the maximum number of retries for requests?
