Hey Paul, I think you're looking for the automation API: <https://www.pulumi.com/automation/>

take a look here: <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/tree/main/python>

Thanks, I see this now, but I still need to create a project in the pulumi cloud, so I either need to use that or the enterprise edition on prem to use Pulumi.

Creating a project happens automatically as soon as you init a stack for the first time. 

Can you elaborate a bit more on your use case?

I get it now, Pulumi is not like teraform where you can use the cloud solution but it can be run standalone, for Pulumi you have a client that calls the cloud or the on prem enterprise server and that does the resource management for you.

yes that's right, all the execution is done by the CLI
