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_py39.py hl[3,22,25] *}

    if (stream != null) return

    val hasRequestBody = request.body != null
    val requestHeaders = http2HeadersList(request)
    stream = http2Connection.newStream(requestHeaders, hasRequestBody)
    // We may have been asked to cancel while creating the new stream and sending the request
    // headers, but there was still no stream to close.
    if (canceled) {
      stream!!.closeLater(ErrorCode.CANCEL)
      throw IOException("Canceled")
    }

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`.

Here's a little bit of that history.
