Error: 'dynamodb' object has no attribute 'table'
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error occurs in the AWS Python SDK when obtaining a table resource using the DynamoDB "client" rather than the "resource."
import boto3 // error occurs when "boto3.client" is used dynamodb = boto3.client('dynamodb') table = dynamodb.Table('my-custom-table')
The snippet above uses the boto3.client('dynamodb')
that causes the error.
Solution - Here's How To Resolve It
Use the DynamoDB "resource" rather than the "client" to resolve the error.
import boto3 // no error with "boto3.resource" dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb') table = dynamodb.Table('my-custom-table') // perform operations with the table as there is no error
