(aws-quicksight): quicksight generated Python is really huge could it be smaller?

[jeffb4]

Describe the feature

This isn't a bug, but the size of the quicksight Python code is very large and breaks in vscode's default python server

[Error - 10:24:44 PM] (36155) File length of "/home/vscode/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/aws_cdk/aws_quicksight/__init__.py" is 72024295 which exceeds the maximum supported file size of 52428800

I confirmed that yeah, that's a beefy boi

Use Case

I don't think the python language server would be able to by default show typing hints etc for that module, which would be great.

Proposed Solution

I understand the Python is generated with jsii from typescript sources - I don't know if the typescript source file is huge and could be shrunk down, or if the conversion is particularly inefficient.

Thanks for reporting this @jeffb4,

This is going to be related to jsii, I'm going to transfer this issue to that repository, let's see what they say 🙂

[mrgrain]

This service has a very large TypeScript definition and we wouldn't really be able to reduce its size without removing functionality. Saying that, the jsii package is aggravating this issue to a much larger problem than it is in TS.

I see it already. This file is ginormous because of the automatically generated code examples. The example for CfnAnalysis spans 30k lines (!).

Not sure this is going to help enough. The file is 900k lines, and the big examples are only 30k lines.
