Is it possible to stack exports and imports with the pulumi SDK?

I’m not sure I understand. Could you elaborate?

can this be done with the pulumi sdk in python.

You can export specific values with <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/stack/#outputs|stack exports>:
```pulumi.export(name: str, value: Any)```
If you're looking to actually dump the stack's details as you would from the CLI, then that's the Automation API with <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/python/pulumi/#pulumi.automation.LocalWorkspace.export_stack|pulumi.automation.LocalWorkspace.export_stack> and <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/python/pulumi/#pulumi.automation.LocalWorkspace.import_stack|pulumi.automation.LocalWorkspace.import_stack>

Really, I just want to automate the cleaning of pending (failed resource creation).  Not sure if there is a better way?

Ah, we were just talking about this in <#C019YSXN04B|automation-api>. Here's a link to the thread: <https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/C019YSXN04B/p1646144559200289>

There's some solutions in there, but the issue linked in that conversation is the one you should go vote on. We use the GitHub thumbs-up votes as part of our roadmap to know what we need to work on the most
