Python compiles generator functions in a different fashion than regular functions, you can determine this via inspection instead of requiring the user to know whether a function is a generator or not: https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.isgeneratorfunction

I was requiring the user to do so here to ensure no change in interface.

how do you mean "no change in interface"?

Say you have this method:
def foo():
for x in y:
yield x
Before this PR, you could @retry foo and expect certain behaviors. I don't want to change that behavior, instead requiring the developer to use generator=True to change behavior in that scenario.

See my other comments on interface. I could, however, error if generator and not inspect.isgeneratorfunction(f).

Broadly speaking, I worry that this is a dangerous tool if misused with particularly tricky edge cases around restarting a generator. I do not expect that users of this would necessarily know enough to avoid those pitfalls when wrapping a generator with @retry
I'll defer to you on this, particularly because you have more context around developers at Clover. |

Closing PR per @gwax recommendation we don't want to use this at Clover. I'm also going to deprecate this fork because using a fork of a python package is a bit cumbersome based on how we currently do package management. |
