Hi there - I’m really trying to wrap my head around the 

props

 argument to the 

ComponentResource

 constructor: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/python/pulumi/#the-pulumi-python-resource-model-1 My main questions about it are: • When would I want to pass something to this 

props

 argument? • What would I pass to that argument? For example, currently I’m passing a Kubernetes namespace to a “parent” 

ComponentResource

 that I’ve created. I’m passing it like so:

def __init__(..., namespace: Namespace, ...):
  super().__init__(
    ...,
    props={'namespace': namespace},
    ...
  )

Is that the correct way to use 

props

? My thinking was that this would let the Pulumi “engine” know that there is an ordering requirement between the namespace and my 

ComponentResource

. Is that how it works? If not, then what are 

props

 for?

I think there is actually an error in Docs. Afaik resource

__init__

can take

args

or arguments directly

def __init__(__self__,
                 resource_name: str,
                 args: Optional[ZoneArgs] = None,
                 opts: Optional[pulumi.ResourceOptions] = None):

args

is later in the code assigned to

__props__

I have a feeling that

props

argument name came from JS/TS in this case and therefore is a typo in docs. As for the usage of props, here is an example.

# with props
route53.Zone(
    args=route53.ZoneArgs(name="<http://example.com|example.com>")
)
# without props
route53.Zone(name="<http://example.com|example.com>")

@billowy-army-68599 Could you please verify the correctness of my statement, we could then fix the docs together. Thank you!

i'm not actually sure myself, could you open an issue in pulumi/docs and I'll have someone verify it @great-sunset-355
