05/06/2020, 10:04 PMQuestion on the languages support by Pulumi. Is anyone has any opinion on the support between TypeScript and Python. I’m wonder if there is still something which is working in Typescript which is not available in Python.

05/06/2020, 10:55 PMI used Pulumi in Python just for a little more than the quickstarts. The typing magic in the Python SDK looks like strange to me

05/06/2020, 10:56 PMProbably because all those types are just glorified comments, as they are only validated if you run mypy

05/06/2020, 11:35 PMI’ve used the Typescript and Go SDKs and they mostly work the same. There are a few methods that have slightly different names, but that’s not a big problem 🙂

05/07/2020, 9:56 PMTab completion in python is still weird.
In TS I get a resource's parameters at the top of the tab completion / intellisense list, in python it seems like it's every single parameter or method possible based on the type of the object in alphabetical order.
@gentle-diamond-70147 maybe to comment on this?

05/07/2020, 10:05 PMThe core SDKs (pulumi/pulumi, pulumi/aws, etc) are functionally equivalent across the different languages. You'll find the same support for config, secrets, testing, etc. in Python, Go, TypeScript, and so on.
We try to be idiomatic to the language - so some function names and such might differ between the languages as an example.

05/07/2020, 10:07 PMThe Crosswalk/extensions packages (e.g. AWSX and EKS) are currently only available in TypeScript/JavaScript, but you can build the same type of higher-level components yourself in every language we support.
Our Policy SDK is currently only available in TypeScript and Python. But, you can still write policies in TypeScript/Python and apply those policies against Pulumi applications in other languages.

05/07/2020, 10:12 PMAny idea about the strange intellisense behaviour in python?!

05/07/2020, 10:21 PMAh, interesting that it requires such a new python version.
Let's wait for @microscopic-pilot-97530 then 😉

Ah, interesting that it requires such a new python version.Might not require a newer Python version (still doing some experimentation). More to share soon.

05/12/2020, 5:12 PM@gentle-diamond-70147 do you have any lead time on Crosswalk/Extensions to be available in Python.
