get_item dynamodb with if else condition if item has a match


def main():
    alias = "jen"
    ddb = boto3.client("dynamodb")

    get_ddb_item = ddb.get_item(TableName="testtable", Key={"employee": {"S": alias}})

    item = get_ddb_item["Item"]
    print(item)

    if item == alias:
         print(f"{alias} is an employee")

    else:
         print(f"{alias} is not an active employee")

The only content on the testtable is PK: employee item: "jen" I am expecting an out put of jen is an employee

This is my code above and it gives me the opposite jen is not an active employee What is the right way of getting the expected output?

You're getting this because item != 'jen'

if item['employee']['S'] == alias:
     print(f"{alias} is an employee")

else:
     print(f"{alias} is not an active employee")
