Lazy still broken in Python

[serverlessunicorn]

:bug: Bug Report

The following fails on CDK 1.49.1: class Foo: def produce(me, context): return self.api.rest_api_id lazy = core.Lazy.string_value(Foo()) with the error: AttributeError: type object 'Foo' has no attribute 'jsii_type'

Possibly recurrence or variant of 807 (https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/807)

Affected Languages

• [ ] TypeScript or Javascript
• [X ] Python
• [ ] Java
• [ ] .NET (C#, F#, ...)

General Information

• JSII Version: <!-- Output of jsii --version --> CDK version is 1.49.1
• Platform: Darwin MacBook-Pro.local 19.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.5.0: Tue May 26 20:41:44 PDT 2020; root:xnu-6153.121.2~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

What is the problem?

Lazy in AWS CDK Python appears to have a jsii serialization problem; see discussion in 807.

Ah, so perhaps this is an AWS CDK issue: The example at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/tokens.html (with Python selected) fails as written, but if you use the example from #807 and add @jsii.implements(core.IStringProducer) as an annotation to the producing class, it succeeds with the workaround.

This seems stil an issue. Can you reopen this bug?

I found a workaround for this bug. The following allows for synth time creation of any constructs with a callback:

class LazyCallback:
    __jsii_type__ = None

    def __init__(self, callback):
        self.callback = callback

    @jsii.member(jsii_name='produce')
    def produce(self, context):
        return self.callback()
