<@USG10JK5Y> I would start by wiring up dependencies using the Python objects, not strings / names. Concretely in this case: looks like you are declaring the `compute.Subnetwork(...)` with `network` set to the string value of the `vpc_name` variable, which is `"lala"`. Instead you would set `network` equal to the object that is returned from `compute.Network(...)` . This should establish the desired relationship.

Related: `create_vpc()` would return that `Network` object, not the result of `pulumi.export(...)`. I expect that `pulumi.export()`  returns `None` .

Thanks <@ULQ0H3LJW> I’ve got to this example which seems helpful

I’m looking for an example for how to use Outputs as dependency between resources in python

Note that there are two notions of “output”. 1) Resource outputs of type `pulumi.output.Output` which can be used as inputs to other resources. And then 2) stack outputs which are created by `pulumi.export()` . 

Agreed that there are far more examples for JS/TS. If you haven’t seen it, this repo has some Python examples for various cloud providers. <https://github.com/pulumi/examples|https://github.com/pulumi/examples>

<@USG10JK5Y> note that the awsx library is not yet available in Python (there is a partial port of part of the library in the repo there, but it is not complete and not yet documented). That is the reason there are almost no examples in that particular repo. “Examples” in most repros are also actually tests (we should rename to avoid confusion). 

There are 24 Python examples across a variety of clouds in the main Pulumi examples repo: <https://github.com/pulumi/examples|https://github.com/pulumi/examples>. 

Is there an example of the `pulumi.output` and `pulumi.input`? I.e 2 resources with a dependency 
I didn't find

<@USG10JK5Y> Sure. Looking at <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-py-s3-folder/__main__.py>

`web_bucket` is of type `pulumi_aws.s3.Bucket`
`web_bucket.id` is of type `pulumi.output.Output[str]`

then in the `for` loop:
`obj` is of type `pulumi_aws.s3.BucketObject`
`obj.bucket` is of type `Input[str]`
`obj.bucket` is set to `web_bucket.id` // assigning `Input` to `Output`

Thus all of the `obj`s (bucket objects) are dependent on the creation of `web_bucket` (the bucket itself)
