Hello. In a general sense, how can I tell when an object has been "created" ... as opposed to "updated", "deleted" in Python?

Are you using automation api or the CLI?

API. Python SDK

You can get this information by parsing the structured logs accessed by the 
on_event
callback on the 
up
, 
preview
, etc. methods

Do you happen to have an example? I'm not following the docs very well. If not... no big deal. Thanks for the direction.

This area of the codebase isn't particularly well documented. I'd be happy to give you an example, but I think I need more information about what you're trying to do to be able to adequately help. Can you tell me a little more about what you're trying to do?

When a RDS instance is created, and only created, I want to print its resource_id to the user.
I can get the resource_id ... I just can't see how to determine when an instance was created.

Okay so currently something like the following would work. Note that the 
print_id_on_create
function is passed to the 
on_event
callback on 
stack.up
import sys
from pulumi import automation as auto
import pulumi_random as random

# This is the pulumi program in "inline function" form
def pulumi_program():
    random.RandomString("my_rando_string", length=16, special=True)

def print_id_on_create(evt: auto.EngineEvent):
    # Check if it's a ResOutputsEvent. This event is emitted after an operation on a resource has completed.
    if evt.res_outputs_event:
        meta = evt.res_outputs_event.metadata
        # Only print when a resource of type "random:index/randomString:RandomString" is created.
        if meta["type"] == "random:index/randomString:RandomString" \
            and meta["op"] == auto.OpType.CREATE:
            print("\n--------")
            print(f"{meta['type']} created")
            # meta.new contains the new state for the resource. 
            # We can get whatever output we want from `outputs`.
            print(f"resource_id: {meta['new']['outputs']['id']}")
            print(f"urn: {meta['new']['urn']}")
            print("--------\n")


# To destroy our program, we can run python main.py destroy
destroy = False
args = sys.argv[1:]
if len(args) > 0:
    if args[0] == "destroy":
        destroy = True

project_name = "print_on_create"
# We use a simple stack name here, but recommend using auto.fully_qualified_stack_name for maximum specificity.
stack_name = "dev"
# stack_name = auto.fully_qualified_stack_name("myOrgOrUser", project_name, stack_name)

# create or select a stack matching the specified name and project.
# this will set up a workspace with everything necessary to run our inline program (pulumi_program)
stack = auto.create_or_select_stack(stack_name=stack_name,
                                    project_name=project_name,
                                    program=pulumi_program)

print("stack initialized")

# for inline programs, we must manage plugins ourselves
print("installing plugins... ", end="")
stack.workspace.install_plugin("random", "v4.3.1")
print("done.")

print("refreshing stack... ", end="")
stack.refresh()
print("done.")

if destroy:
    print("destroying stack... ", end="")
    stack.destroy()
    print("done.")
    sys.exit()

print("updating stack...")
up_res = stack.up(on_event=print_id_on_create)
print("stack update complete")
There's currently a small error in deserializing events though, so once https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/8375/files is merged, 
print_id_on_create
will instead become: 
def print_id_on_create(evt: auto.EngineEvent):
    # Check if it's a ResOutputsEvent. This event is emitted after an operation on a resource has completed.
    if evt.res_outputs_event:
        meta = evt.res_outputs_event.metadata
        # Only print when a resource of type "random:index/randomString:RandomString" is created.
        if meta.type == "random:index/randomString:RandomString" \
            and meta.op == auto.OpType.CREATE:
            print("\n--------")
            print(f"{meta.type} created")
            # meta.new contains the new state for the resource. 
            # We can get whatever output we want from `outputs`.
            print(f"resource_id: {meta.new.outputs['id']}")
            print(f"urn: {meta.new.urn}")
            print("--------\n")
Note that the properties on 
meta
can now be accessed as 
meta.type
instead of 
meta['type']

Thanks. I've been playing with this for a little bit now, and I think I'm missing properly defining the pulumi program in the 
auto.create_or_select_stack
For a bit of context. My config is in .yaml file, and this is my 
___main___.py
def pulumi_program():
    random.RandomString("my_rando_string", length=16, special=True)


def print_id_on_create(evt: auto.EngineEvent):
    print("THERE")
    # Check if it's a ResOutputsEvent. This event is emitted after an operation on a resource has completed.
    if evt.res_outputs_event:
        meta = evt.res_outputs_event.metadata
        # Only print when a resource of type "random:index/randomString:RandomString" is created.
        if meta["op"] == auto.OpType.CREATE:
            print("\n--------")
            print(f"{meta['type']} created")
            # meta.new contains the new state for the resource.
            # We can get whatever output we want from `outputs`.
            print(f"resource_id: {meta['new']['outputs']['id']}")
            print(f"urn: {meta['new']['urn']}")
            print("--------\n")


def main():
    stack_name = pulumi.get_stack()
    if not stack_name.startswith("rds-") or not stack_name[2:]:
        raise ValueError("Stack name must be the format \"rds-<environment>-<service>\"")
    imported = False
    environment = EnvironmentMap[pulumi.get_stack().split("-")[1]]
    pulumi_lw = pulumi.automation.LocalWorkspace(work_dir='../')
    config = pulumi_lw.get_all_config(stack_name=stack_name)
    json_config = None
    for key in config.keys():
        json_config= json.loads(config[key].value)
    config_handler = ConfigHandler(json_config)
    config_handler.get_regions()
    project_name = pulumi.get_project()
    stack = auto.create_or_select_stack(stack_name=stack_name, project_name=project_name, program=pulumi_program)
    for region in ConfigHandler.regions:
        aws_provider = provider.Provider(resource_name=f"rds-{region}", region=region, profile=environment)
        for instance in ConfigHandler.parent_key['regions'][region].keys():
            instance_config = ConfigHandler.parent_key['regions'][region][instance]
            identifier = instance_config['identifier']
            resource = RDSResource(instance_config, region, environment, aws_provider, identifier, imported=imported).get_resource()
            if resource:
                preview_res = stack.preview(on_event=print_id_on_create)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
pulumi preview
just hangs. The first time I ran it, I was prompted to allow Python to accept incoming connections. I denied that, so I think its just hanging waiting on some inbound connection

Yeah, when using inline programs there is a call to the grpc server running in-process so that's probably what's being blocked.
Ah it also looks like you're defining resources outside the pulumi program itself.
Take a look at https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples#python-examples to see examples of how to use Automation API and where the pulumi program resources must be defined (i.e. in the 
pulumi_program
function that is passed into 
create_or_select_stack
)
In the code I posted above, my pulumi program simply creates a 
random.RandomString
resource. Yours will likely create an RDS resource
