What is 'except_retry'?

To the OP, with the loop and the callables you could also break out of
the loop when the condition is met and use the else condition to raise
the exception.

def test(arg):
    for f in int, float, str, hex:
        try:
            return f(arg)
            break # breaks on f==str
        except:
            pass
    else:
        raise ValueError # remove str above to see this
print test('^&%')
