[Python] Aws localstack get dynamo DB from lambda in localstack

Ive a lambda and a dynaoDB set in a localstack. The dyanmodDB table is correctly created(visible in web localstack + awslocal dynamodb list-tables in localstack-main container bash)

In localstack-main ( in eu-west-3)

{
"TableNames": [
"leads",
"dealers"
]
}


In my lambda i try to :

import os,boto3
url = os.getenv("LOCALSTACK_HOSTNAME") #=some ip
port = os.getenv("EDGE_PORT") #verified = 4566
localstack_endpoint =f"http://{url}:{port}"

dynamodb = boto3.resource("dynamodb", region_name="eu-west-3",endpoint_url=localstack_endpoint)
table = dynamodb.Table("dealers")


I get a Cannot do operations on a non-existent table. I gt the same thing by replacing url by localhost.localstack.cloud.Replacing with localhost i just get no connection

dynamodb = boto3.resource("dynamodb", region_name="eu-west-3", endpoint_url=localstack_endpoint)
tables = list(dynamodb.tables.all())
print(tables)

Here's my docker-compose

version: "3.8"

services:
localstack:
container_name: "${LOCALSTACK_DOCKER_NAME:-localstack-main}"
image: localstack/localstack:4.0.3
ports:
- "4566:4566" # LocalStack Gateway
- "4510-4559:4510-4559" # external services port range
environment:
# LocalStack configuration: https://docs.localstack.cloud/references/configuration/
- DEBUG=${DEBUG:-0}
- AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=eu-west-3
volumes:
- "${LOCALSTACK_VOLUME_DIR:-./volume}:/var/lib/localstack"
- "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"


I want to get access to the dynamoDB from the lambda in localstack
