Hi there yes in order to get at the underlying resolved value you ll need to use `apply` as described here <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts inputs outputs language=python apply>

I thought that the result of the call to apply is another Output object

Yes the result of the call to `apply` is an `Output T ` but within the callback that s passed to apply you can work with the raw `T` ```bucket = s3 Bucket my bucket def compare a b if a == b print match else print no match bucket id apply lambda id compare id some string ```

You can also do something like this which can be a little nicer to work with ```bucket = s3 Bucket my bucket some known value = foo Capture the result as an Output bool is match = bucket id apply lambda id id == some known value Use its apply to work with the result is match apply lambda m print Match if m else No match ```
