 """ Store attributes for a given item. :type item_name: string :param item_name: The name of the item whose attributes are being stored. :type attribute_names: dict or dict-like object :param attribute_names: The name/value pairs to store as attributes :type expected_value: list :param expected_value: If supplied, this is a list or tuple consisting of a single attribute name and expected value. The list can be of the form: * ['name', 'value'] In which case the call will first verify that the attribute "name" of this item has a value of "value". If it does, the delete will proceed, otherwise a ConditionalCheckFailed error will be returned. The list can also be of the form: * ['name', True|False] which will simply check for the existence (True) or non-existence (False) of the attribute. :type replace: bool :param replace: Whether the attribute values passed in will replace existing values or will be added as addition values. Defaults to True. :rtype: bool :return: True if successful """
