Hi dear community, May I ask a question? I'm quite new to Pulumi, so I apologise if it might seem silly. I use

pulumi.export()

to export a variable in

file1.py

. I'm going to use this variable in

file2.py

Is there any way to get this variable in

file2.py

? So far I have found how to import this variable in CLI only

Same way you would share normal variables in Python. Just use python "import" statements.

pulumi.export

is for saving values as stack outputs so that

pulumi stack output

and StackReferences can see them.

Hi @echoing-dinner-19531, thanks for your answer. If I export a variable like this:

pl.export('my_var', 'some string')

Do you mean I can import it like this:

import my_var

Are you sure it's gonna work?

No if you export a variable like that you'll see it in

pulumi stack output

If you want to import a variable in another python file, just import it. There is nothing Pulumi specific about this, its just python.
