I love these videos. You lay everything out in a very simple and easy to understand format, and for a beginner such as myself, I cannot thank you enough.
@@Franchyze923 I followed the instructions laid out in the video, and I was met with the "AttributeError: __enter__" error. Do you have any advice on how to handle this error? I'm new to python coding, so this may be a dumb question.
I have a problem with script running. arcpy.da.SearchCursor cannot open ne_10m_populated_places.shp feature class. Do you know what is problem? Thanks.
import arcpy arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True points = r'F:\GIS Python\Data e_10m_populated_places.shp' countries = r'F:\GIS Python\Data e_10m_admin_0_countries.shp' outpath = r'F:\GIS Python\Output' fields = ['NAME', 'POP_MAX', 'TIMEZONE'] arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(points, 'points_layer') with arcpy.da.SearchCursor('points_layer', fields) as cursor: for i in cursor: print i[0] print i[1] print i[2] + ' ' Just converted to layer and it worked !
I don't know why, but i had to create a temporary layer "arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management" to make it work. Also, the "print x[2]+' ' doesn't work (i get a message like 'cannot have int and str'), i had to print ' ' below
The second question .. How can I create a tool using Python and then call it in the ArcGIS program in order for it to work with any layer that I add to the project?
Easiest way is to create a toolbox. I demonstrate how to do that later in the series. Since this video came out, there is a also a slightly newer way called a "Python Toolbox". pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/geoprocessing_and_python/creating-a-new-python-toolbox.htm I (briefly) demonstrate how to to this in my ArcGIS Pro SDK development series - ua-cam.com/video/rrtK42bt40w/v-deo.html&ab_channel=franchyze923
Hello.. I am a new follower of you from Iraq, I had started today by following a page on UA-cam, and in the first lesson of the series ArcMap Scripting with Python and Arcpy But I was not able to download the shapefile for the exercise, how can I download it to apply the lesson

Hmm someone else was having this issue too. Is the shape file open in Arcmap when you’re trying to run the script? For some reason it can’t access the shapefile. Have you been able to use this shapefile before ?
@@wishnuma9856 did @Saad Khan suggestion of making a temporary layer work for you? It's possible things have changed with the libraries since I made this video. What version of arcmap are you using?
How come I NEED to set an arcpy.env.workspace for my points layer to be opened? You don't have this in your code, but when I leave it out, it gives me the error that the file cant be opened.

It’s having trouble accessing that shape file. Does it exist in the specified location ? Maybe try putting an “r” in front of the points path
