No handler was ready to authenticate

I'm getting this error once per every 100-200 runs of dynamic-dynamo (approximately):

Thanks for the bug report. This is most likely a connection issue of some sort between boto and DynamoDB.

The issue is not on the Dynamic DynamoDB side, but a workaround could be to try to reconnect if the connection fails (for whatever reason).

I'll see if I can work on a reconnection feature to resolve this.

This is handled in release 1.4.0! Just sudo pip install -U dynamic-dynamodb to get the latest release.
