title: AWS Python Shell - How to use Glue Catalog Connections
body: <p>I have a JDBC connection defined in Glue and I am able to use it successfully in a Glue Spark job. How would I use that same connection in a Glue Python Shell job? I can't find any templates how to do this though I've seen references that it is possible.</p>
  
  <p>An alternative would be how to define a JDBC connection in the Python Shell where I would need to include an external library? <code>pyodbc</code> I've read is not available due to dependencies. </p>
