I recently added graphql support in vaex (another dataframe library), and just added support for pandas as well: vaexio/vaex#446

However, this is only available after importing vaex.graphql, e.g.:

In vaex, I use a plugin system using the entry point system, e.g:

entry_points={ 'vaex.dataframe.accessor': ['graphql = vaex.graphql:DataFrameAccessorGraphQL'], }, 

Is this maybe something pandas can do as well? That would mean that simply installing vaex.graphql would enable this.

Note: in vaex I lazily import the modules, so if df.graphql never gets accessed, vaex.graphql will never be imported.
