Hey, Sorry I am so late in the convo, it took me a minute to get the mailing list setup (I won’t be sure this is right until after I hit send).
I think you are on to something with this code example. Gremlinpy does this, but a bit differently. It uses Python’s magic methods to dynamically build a linked list. So when you do something like g = Gremlin() g.function() It creates simply adds an gremlinpy.gremlin.Function object to the queue. That object has the parameters to send once the linked list is converted to a string. Check out the readme for a few more examples (it can do things like add pre-defined statements to the chain, nesting Gremlin instances, and manually binding params) https://github.com/emehrkay/gremlinpy <https://github.com/emehrkay/gremlinpy> I think that a very simple linked list build with a fluid interface and few predefined object types may be a good approach to defining a native way to represent a Gremlin query.
