from gql import gql, Client
from gql.transport.requests import RequestsHTTPTransport

_transport = RequestsHTTPTransport(

    use_json=True,
)

client = Client(
    transport=_transport,
    fetch_schema_from_transport=True,
)
query = gql("""
{
    pokemon(name: "Pikachu") {
        attacks {
            special {
                name
            }
        }

print(client.execute(query))

$ python fetch.py
{'pokemon': {'attacks': {'special': [{'name': 'Discharge'}, {'name': 'Thunder'}, {'name': 'Thunderbolt'}]}}}
