# Please note that this basic example won't work if you have an asyncio event loop running.
# In some python environments (as with Jupyter which uses IPython) an asyncio event loop is created for you.
# In that case you should use instead https://gql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/async/async_usage.html#async-usage
