On: Show HN: Python package for interfacing with ChatGPT with minimized complexity

[minimaxir]

I was mixed about putting it in the base package but you can get the same behavior with the tenacity package.

[mikeravkine → minimaxir]

Errors are so common with these endpoints, not having retry out of the box just makes it harder to hack on which I think is against the spirit?

[Klathmon → mikeravkine]

On the other hand, automatic retires can be suprising, especially when they don't completely understand the returned error and retry on errors they shouldn't.

I just wasted a couple hours the other week due to langchainjs defaulting to retrying errors which were ultimately caused by timeouts and would never complete.

Yeah, I understand. Maybe it would be good to add a comment on it in the README, since most people will hit this problem.
