How to return node from py2neo graph query?

Question

How can i use the result and convert it to node or relationship from graph.run for eg.

result = graph.run('match (x:Person) return x')

How can i convert result to Py2neo v3 node/relationship?

Answer 1

The simplest way to obtain the node from your query is to use evaluate instead of run:

my_node = graph.evaluate('match (x:Person) return x')

This method returns the first value from the first record returned. In this case, your node.
