ask-sdk-dynamodb-persistence-adapter is the persistence adapter package for Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) by the Software Development Kit (SDK) team for Python. It has the persistence adapter implementation for connecting the Skill to the AWS DynamoDB. It also provides partition key generator functions, to get the user id or device id from skill request, that can be used as partition keys.

Assuming that you have Python and virtualenv installed, you can install the package and it's dependencies (ask-sdk-model, ask-sdk-core) from PyPi as follows:

$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ pip install ask-sdk-dynamodb-persistence-adapter

You can also install the whole dynamodb persistence adapter package locally by following these steps:
