One way of importing/exporting stuff:

"""
Batch-writes data from a file to a dynamo-db database.
"""

import json
import boto3

# Get items from DynamoDB table like this:
# aws dynamodb scan --table-name 

# Create dynamodb client.
client = boto3.client(
    'dynamodb',
    aws_access_key_id='',
    aws_secret_access_key=''
)

with open('', 'r') as file:
    data = json.loads(file.read())['Items']

    # Execute write-data request for each item.
    for item in data:
        client.put_item(
            TableName='',
            Item=item
        )
