exception is not retried

[chanansh]

class RateLimitExceed(Exception):
    """API reate limit exceed"""
    pass

class Api:
    @retry(RateLimitExceed, tries=-1, delay=0.1, logger=logger)
    def _api(self, query):
           message = api_call()
           if message == 'too fast':
                 raise(RateLimitExceed)

although the retry wrapper exists the code break with the exception when called.

The calls are done using joblib.Parallel.

could not reproduce with a minimal example (which works)
