I am trying to run a code using the api and the problem is it aborts the connection every few times and the only way to fix is to restart the kernel. I was wondering if there is any way in python to restart the kernel in try/except format inside a loop that runs every 5 minutes?

Something like this:

def execution():

try:

    main_code()
except:
    while check_connection != True:
        try:                        
            connection_command (to the api)
            break
        except:
            restart_kernel
    main_code()

In the above I am trying to see if the connection to api is good, if not restart the kernel and re-establish the connection.

Is it even possible?

Thank you
