Hello  all.. I am getting started with Pulumi for Kubernetes platform (python):

I am trying to create a namespace in my automation program:
``` ns = Namespace(kwargs["namespace"], metadata={"name": kwargs["namespace"]})```

This works when the namespace does not exist. It fails with “already exists” if the namespace exists.

```+  pulumi:pulumi:Stack pulumi-iac-k8-deploy-heml-rmjbpcxuer creating
 +  kubernetes:core/v1:Namespace iac-test creating
 +  kubernetes:core/v1:Namespace iac-test creating Retry #0; creation failed: namespaces "iac-test" already exists```

How do I change this code so that Namespace is created only if it doesn’t exist. ? I am looking at the docs but cannot find an option to do this..
Help appreciated..

If you've previously created the namespace outside of Pulumi, you should import it into Pulumi
