@square-gigabyte-16212 Pulumi programs are executed when you run

pulumi update

and

pulumi preview

- but in general they will not make sense to run directly with

python

or

node

CLIs. The programs themselves register resources with a pulumi engine that understands how to turn those resources into operations against your target cloud. See https://pulumi.io/reference/how.html for some details on this process. As you've noted though, that does though mean you can't use existing debuggers directly, because

pulumi

will spawn python on your behalf. I'm sure we'll be able to add support for passing through flags to allow attaching a debugger to the spawned process, but it's possible we don't have a first class way to do that today. If you open an issue on this, we can take a look at what options might work already today, and what new support might make sense to add to allow debuggers to easily light up.
