## Description

# Relay Library for GraphQL Python

GraphQL-relay-py is the [Relay](https://relay.dev/) library for
[GraphQL-core](https://github.com/graphql-python/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](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-relay-js),
while GraphQL-Core is a Python port of
[GraphQL.js](https://github.com/graphql/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

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

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.
