[Tutor] Pythonic way to "try a few times, then raise exception"?

[Allen Fowler]

Hello,

I have a block of code buried deep in a module  that I expect to fail periodically. (Calls to other machines over slow network, and such.)

Generally, though,  trying it a second / third will work.

Is there clean way to write this on Python?

Thanks
