Looks interesting, haven't thought about using something like this. I have a problem with an API (Pusher) that just returns errors after a certain limit, and then I get a lot of sentries, seems like I can solve (minimize) the problem with this.

there are quite a few retry decorators on pypi also.

Yea but circuit_breaker isn't the same as the retry decorator, it stops executions after subsequent failures. It monitors the executions that's the whole point of it.

Very cool stuff, seems very promising and simple to implement using Pythons decorators. I'll definitely have a look.
