Feature Request: Optional retries on HTTP requests #75
Description
Background
xero-python uses urllib3 under the hood. By default, urllib3 will retry requests 3 times which is not necessarily desirable, particularly if rate limiting is in play. In some case it might make sense to the API user to handle retries themselves.
Proposed solution
xero_python.api_client.configuration.Configuration should accept retries as an argument which in turn would be passed down to the urllib3.PoolManager or urllib3.ProxyManager during initialisation.
I'm happy to put a PR up if you feel the change has merit.

Hey @DamianHeard appreciate your feedback! I'm going to convert this to a discussion topic for the community to gauge temperature as it's not something we've seen requested previously. If you would like to put up a PR for the change we'd welcome the contribution!
