Hi, I’m having trouble setting up a Python project. The docs say that Pulumi supports modularized Python programs and setup.py files, but there isn’t any more info provided there and I can’t get it working with my project structure that looks like this:

my_dir/
  Pulumi.yaml 
  setup.py // calls `setup(packages=find_packages())`
  my_package/
    __init__.py
    __main__.py // does `from .pulumi import *`
    pulumi.py // contains AWS resource created with Pulumi

Now when I run

pulumi up

in

my_dir

, I get the following error:

ImportError: can't find '__main__' module in '.'

Which tells me that Pulumi tries to import

my_dir/__main__.py

and ignores

setup.py

. How can I fix this? Is there any documentation that I’m missing?

If the

__main__.py

is not in the root directory, there is a setting you can use in the Pulumi.yaml

thanks @brave-planet-10645 I missed that setting

No problem 🙂
