I am thinking of using the automation api in an asyncio python program, but am not sure if the api itself is nonblocking

ah, the automation API will work with asyncio

I also think that automation api should work with asyncio.

I tried to use aio within the pulumi runtime and run into problems.

Please share your findings.

AIO in the Pulumi program would probably work but I think similar functionality is already available due to the output objects that are returned by most function calls. Everything _generally_ runs in parallel unless a blocking function is called.

I've had a great experience with using the Automation API by referencing an external Pulumi project via `pulumi.automation.create_or_select_stack`. Here's <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/blob/main/python/local_program/automation/main.py|the example> that got me started in that direction. Can definitely AIO from that location.
