Copy code

rt = ec2.RouteTable('new-rt', vpc_id = vpc.id, routes = [ig.id]) Copy code

02/26/2019, 10:19 PMThanks for the help! I’ll give it a shot. Do you guys take pull requests to the reference documentation? I got the sense it was cobbled together from different sources.

02/26/2019, 10:20 PMunfortunately, it’s autogenerated. We basically have to improve the code generator in pulumi/pulumi-terraform to be better - I’ve been landing a number of fixes that will improve docs, but there’s always more that can be done 😛

02/26/2019, 10:20 PMthe hardest thing here re: Python is that Python, being totally untyped, doesn’t have a great built-in way to document the shape of dictionary objects that get passed as inputs to resources. Boto rolled their own documentation generator to do this

02/26/2019, 10:21 PMIt’s much easier with TypeScript because TypeScript has an actual interface type corresponding to the e.g.
RouteTableArgsl

02/26/2019, 10:21 PMYeah, I saw some type hints in some of the code, but in general it hasn’t seemed to have really had much of an impact (more broadly, not just this project).

02/26/2019, 10:22 PMI might learn TypeScript mostly, well, for the type support.

02/26/2019, 11:03 PMYeah, it’s true that TypeScript has a pretty incredible experience re: types.

02/26/2019, 11:03 PMI’m trying to see what I can do re: Python and IDEs, but unfortunately it looks like there’s not a comparable experience for Python programs.
