How to put (insert) data to DynamoDB with Python boto3

Please note that this snippet is part of the DynamoDB-Simpsons-episodes-full-example repository on GitHub.

Let's say you want to insert an item to a DynamoDB table.

TABLENAME='simpsonsEpisodes'

First of all, you have to create a Resource (follow these steps) and then you can use the following code to assign a value to the variables used below.

table = dynamodbRes.Table(TABLENAME)

    response = table.put_item(
        Item={
            'No_Season': 99,
            'No_Inseason': 1,
            'ProdCode':'99NS01',
            'OriginalAirDate':'2030-01-01',
            'Title':'Best episode ever!'
        }
    )

print(response)
