How do I pass a string to a boto3 function in IPython from a Jupyter notebook?

Question

I am setting up an environment in Jupyter that allows a user to query their Database Schema from AWS Glue. The Jupyter line magic accepts 2 arguments: the database name, and the table name.

These arguments are then parsed with split(), and separated into two arguments: database, and table.

What would be the best way to pass these to the glue.get_table call? Which accepts 2 argument which I was previously explicitly declaring in the code?

I'm fairly new to Python and may be missing an obvious answer here, but I'm currently passing them as string variables.

@line_magic('describe') def describe(self, line, local_ns = None):

database = line.split(" ")[0]
view     = line.split(" ")[1]

glue = boto3.client('glue', region_name=ec2_metadata.region)        
response = glue.get_table(DatabaseName='%s', Name='%s' % (database, view))

I am expecting to see these values passed into boto as if I were to write them in myself, but I am seeing

TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

being thrown on the glue.get_table() function

尝试这个：

response = glue.get_table(DatabaseName=database, Name=view)
