)
client = Client(
transport=_transport,
fetch_schema_from_transport=True,
)
query = gql("""

pokemon(name: "Pikachu") {
attacks {
special {

}
}
}

print(client.execute(query))
$ python fetch.py
{'pokemon': {'attacks': {'special': [{'name': 'Discharge'}, {'name': 'Thunder'}, {'name': 'Thunderbolt'}]}}}
