Exclude discovery_cache documents

[joefarrelly]

I'm only making use of the drive, docs, slides and sheets json files from the documents folder. I'm attempting to deploy a serverless app in AWS lambda but won't deploy due to the total size so I'm trying to trim down or use alternative smaller packages. I had a look in google-cloud-python repo for those specific libraries but didn't see them. Apologies if it's a silly question but is there a way to exclude all of the local discovery documents and instead just fetch them as and when needed? Or are these API libraries actually supported in google-cloud-python and I've just missed them.

@joefarrelly Did you solve this? I can't seem to find any Drive integration in the google-cloud-python repo either.

For anybody that comes across using this repo with a Lambda, we solved this by excluding the discovery documents in our Serverless config

slimPatterns:
  - 'googleapiclient/discovery_cache/documents/*'

and then initializing the build service disabling static_discovery of the cache documents:

self.service = build(
    "drive",
    "v3",
    static_discovery=False,
    credentials=scoped_credentials)
