<@UBBTG30D9> 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.
