python retry decorator
import pymongo.errors
# Retry decorator with exponential backoff
def retry(tries=5, delay=0.1, backoff=2):
"""Retries a function or method until it returns True.
delay sets the initial delay in seconds, and backoff sets the factor by which
the delay should lengthen after each failure. backoff must be greater than 1,
or else it isn't really a backoff. tries must be at least 0, and delay
greater than 0.
