I was following a tutorial, where at the start, we setup a local dynamodb in a pretty standard way. That worked fine, but when it came time to use the local DDB, i noticed that it was reachable but not responding.
Tutorial: https://aws.plainenglish.io/aws-tutorials-build-a-python-crud-api-with-lambda-dynamodb-api-gateway-and-sam-874c209d8af7
Setup Details
Environment: WSL2 Ubuntu
Docker Container: amazon/dynamodb-local latest 904626f640dc 3 months ago 499MB
AWSCLI --version: aws-cli/2.11.21 Python/3.11.3 Linux/5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 exe/x86_64.ubuntu.22 prompt/off
docker --version: Docker version 23.0.5, build bc4487a
Commands used to setup the local DDB :
$ docker network create lambda-local
$ docker run \
-p 8000:8000 \
-d \
--rm \
--network lambda-local \
--name dynamodb \
-v /home/nick/.docker/dynamodb:/data/ \
amazon/dynamodb-local -jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb -dbPath /data
Console output
nick@T490s:~/code$ docker images | grep dynamo
amazon/dynamodb-local latest 904626f640dc 3 months ago 499MB

If you need me to edit my post with any other troubleshooting commands, just say so and I will update asap.
Thanks for the help!

Hi Didier, I don't have urllib3 installed it seems. If it was required for the awscli, wouldn't it have been installed as a dependency? Also, I failed to connect NoSQL Workspace to my docker DDB container and that is from outside the WSL environment.
Nick, the gist that you posted: https://pastebin.com/zfEBQnd9 contains references to urllib3
Traceback (most recent call last): File "urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 449, in _make_request File "<string>", line 3, in raise_from File "urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 444, in _make_request File "http/client.py", line 1375, in getresponse File "http/client.py", line 318, in begin File "http/client.py", line 279, in _read_status File "socket.py", line 706, in readinto TimeoutError: timed out
So, can you look for the file urllib3/connectionpool.py ?
Hi Didier, I thought it would be an awscli library so I went looking in there and did not find it.
nick@T490s:/usr/local/aws-cli/v2$ find . -type f -name *.py # This returns nothing
So I installed urllib3 fresh with pip and the exact same error occurred. Here is the output: https://pastebin.com/AgMcp4JL
Finally, I installed the locate tool and used it to find all files named connectionpool.py. The output basically all my venv environments, and the freshly installed urllib3 library that I just installed with pip. The output is here: https://pastebin.com/228RQRSC
Can you now check the version of urllib3 via methods of https://blog.finxter.com/how-to-check-urllib3-package-version-in-python/
Hi Didier, urllib3 2.0.2. Are we sure that AWScli is using the system python library and not something that came bundled with the cli? It was previously not installed and had the exact same error after installing with the system pip.
