              For types that involve numbers, it is recommended that ``Decimal``
              objects are used to be able to round-trip the Python type.
              For types that involve binary, it is recommended that ``Binary``
              objects are used to be able to round-trip the Python type.

          :returns: A dictionary that represents a dynamoDB data type. These
              dictionaries can be directly passed to botocore methods.
