This decorator limits the calling rate of the decorated function. This is useful in conjuction with web API calls, where you often get banned if you perform more calls than the ones specified in the terms of services.
The rate is limit over every, where limit is the number of invocation
allowed every every seconds. limit(4, 60) creates a decorator that
limits the function calls to 4 per minute. If not specified, every
defaults to 1 second.
.. code:: python
@limit(4, 60)
def function(...):
"""never invoke this function more than 4 times per minute."""
