Error: the dynamodb service does not have version

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error message indicates that there is an issue with the version of the DynamoDB service that is being used. Specifically, it suggests that the service does not have a version specified. This can happen if the version of the service is not specified in the code or if the version of the service being used is not compatible with the code.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, check the code to ensure that the version of the DynamoDB service is specified.
In the boto3 client, you can specify the version of the service you want to use by passing the version parameter:
import boto3 # Instantiate a client with a specific version dynamodb = boto3.client( 'dynamodb', region_name='us-west-2', api_version='2012-08-10')
Finally, ensure that the version specified is compatible with the code and that the service is available in the region where the code is being executed.
