The API design is a little different here - but it is indeed designed to be used.

Since the call doesn't have any dependencies - it doesn't need to be an `Output`, so these calls are projected as returning an async function.

Not sure if we have any good examples of using these in common patterns in Python.  <@UB27BHS4B> might know.

so I have to use await? I tried a bunch of examples from SO, with no result. I'm not a python developer so not much experience here, sadly

The way that I recommend using these functions is to invoke them in an `async` function and then invoke the function as an invoke for a resource, sort of like this:

You can pass futures (the return value of `async` functions) directly to resource constructors.
