Depending on your use case, you might prefer to use a different library, but if you asked me, I would probably suggest you try **Strawberry**.

Here's a small preview of how you could integrate Strawberry with FastAPI:

{* ../../docs_src/graphql/tutorial001.py hl[3,22,25] *}

If it finds it, then it will **use it**. Otherwise it keeps looking in the **other directories**.

### Installing Python and Updating the `PATH` { #installing-python-and-updating-the-path }

When you install Python, you might be asked if you want to update the `PATH` environment variable.

//// tab | Linux, macOS

Let's say you install Python and it ends up in a directory `/opt/custompython/bin`.

# History, Design and Future { #history-design-and-future }

Some time ago, <a href="https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/issues/3#issuecomment-454956920" class="external-link" target="_blank">a **FastAPI** user asked</a>:

> What’s the history of this project? It seems to have come from nowhere to awesome in a few weeks [...]

Here's a little bit of that history.

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

 * the {@link #startUp} and {@link #shutDown} methods and also uses that service to schedule the
 * {@link #runOneIteration} that will be executed periodically as specified by its {@link
 * Scheduler}. When this service is asked to stop via {@link #stopAsync} it will cancel the periodic
 * task (but not interrupt it) and wait for it to stop before running the {@link #shutDown} method.
 *

* Check if you can understand what is the **purpose** and use case of the person asking.

* Then check if the question (the vast majority are questions) is **clear**.

* In many cases the question asked is about an imaginary solution from the user, but there might be a **better** one. If you can understand the problem and use case better, you might be able to suggest a better **alternative solution**.

### Handling authentication ([.kt][AuthenticateKotlin], [.java][AuthenticateJava])

OkHttp can automatically retry unauthenticated requests. When a response is `401 Not Authorized`, an `Authenticator` is asked to supply credentials. Implementations should build a new request that includes the missing credentials. If no credentials are available, return null to skip the retry.

		// we return from this function.
		closeBitrotReaders(readers)
		if err != nil {
			// If we have successfully written all the content that was asked
			// by the client, but we still see an error - this would mean
			// that we have some parts or data blocks missing or corrupted
			// - attempt a heal to successfully heal them for future calls.

		mtime2 := poolObjInfos[j].ObjInfo.ModTime
		return mtime1.After(mtime2)
	})

	defPool := PoolObjInfo{Index: -1}
	for _, pinfo := range poolObjInfos {
		// skip all objects from suspended pools if asked by the
		// caller.
		if opts.SkipDecommissioned && z.IsSuspended(pinfo.Index) {
			continue
		}
		// Skip object if it's from pools participating in a rebalance operation.
