You can pass 
-g
(short for 
--generate-only
) to 
pulumi new
to generate the project only. With that flag, it won’t create a stack, save config, or install dependencies. Alternatively, you can let 
pulumi new
create the virtual environment, but then after it runs, delete the 
venv
directory and modify the 
Pulumi.yaml
file changing:
Copy code
runtime:
  name: python
  options:
    virtualenv: venv
To be just:
Copy code
runtime: python

Thanks Justin trying it out and hopefully that solves it all. What do you mean by 'create a stack' - the files necessary for the project? Is that not the same as generating the project?

What do you mean by ‘create a stack’
pulumi new
generates a project. By default, 
pulumi new
also creates a new stack (internally running the equivalent of 
pulumi stack init
). You can read more about the difference between a project and stack at https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#program-structure When 
-g
is specified to 
pulumi new
it won’t create the stack, so it’d be up to you to run 
pulumi stack init
afterwards to create one.

For python developers who already have a preferred method of creating and maintaining python virtual environments, can we get an option for 
pulumi new
to not create a virtual environment, but do everything else like it did before?
