About graphql-relay

from the package's own PyPI description — quoted content, verbatim

Relay Library for GraphQL Python

GraphQL-relay-py is the Relay library for GraphQL-core.

It allows the easy creation of Relay-compliant servers using GraphQL-core.

GraphQL-Relay-Py is a Python port of graphql-relay-js, while GraphQL-Core is a Python port of GraphQL.js, the reference implementation of GraphQL for JavaScript.

Since version 3, GraphQL-Relay-Py and GraphQL-Core support Python 3.6 and above only. For older versions of Python, you can use version 2 of these libraries.

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides helper functions to build Relay-compliant GraphQL servers using graphql-core, including connection pagination, global object identification, and cursor management.

Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (graphql-core and typing-extensions). However, the package is marked abandoned with no releases since April 2022 and last commit in February 2023, raising concerns about future maintenance and compatibility with newer graphql-core versions.

MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, requiring only license and copyright notice retention.

Usage

pip install graphql-relay
from graphql_relay import connection_definitions, connection_args, connection_from_array
ship_edge, ship_connection = connection_definitions(ship_type, "Ship")
result = connection_from_array(items, args)

Requires Python 3.6 or later; graphql-core must be installed separately as a runtime dependency.

Verdict: Stable, permissively licensed Relay helper library with minimal dependencies, but abandoned since 2022 with no recent maintenance. Suitable for existing projects already using graphql-core, but risky for new development without active upstream support or compatibility guarantees.

Needs verification

Whether graphql-relay 3.2.0 remains compatible with recent graphql-core versions (3.2+)
Whether the abandoned status reflects intentional stability or unaddressed breaking changes in dependencies
Community fork or alternative Relay implementations for Python that may be actively maintained
