Try javascript solution.

driver.executeScript("arguments[0].value='"+longstring+"';", textFieldWebElement);

As I've mentioned before, this won't actually emulate a user which is
typically what you want to do when you use a tool like Selenium. But
if that's not want, this is fine.

Use the code as below:
Abc = "xyz"*10000. This string variable value is huge. You can make this even huge!
Next step, use pyperclip module in python.
import pyperclip

xyz = pyperclip.copy(Abc)
driver.find_element_by_id("id").send_keys(xyz)

Thanks,

Or you can also use

driver.find_element_by_id("id").send_keys(pyperclip.paste(xyz))
