It is meant to be of use when accessing unreliable resources with the potential for intermittent failures i.e. network resources and external APIs. Somewhat more generally, it may also be of use for dynamically polling resources for externally generated content. . Decorators support both regular functions for synchronous code and asyncio's coroutines for asynchronous code.
