Python utilities for use with Esri ArcGIS Desktop software
Project description
README
What is this repository for?
- A collection of (mostly) arcpy related utilities for use within ArcGIS (ArcCatalog/ArcMap) and Python 2.7. Going forward, this repo will be compatible with ArcGIS Pro (Python 3) as well where possible.
How do I get set up?
- To install the utilities:
pip install arc_utils
- Clone the repo to your machine and add the path to the python install https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html#the-module-search-path
- Optionally, you can copy the folder to the site-packages in the ESRI python install directory, or add a .pth file to the site-packages folder pointing to the clone directory.
To use the utilities:
- in the python window in ArcMap/ArcCatalog/Pro
import arc_utils as au
- typing
au.
will now reveal the modules and functions available to you if you have autocomplete on - Depends on arcpy (only available with Esri license)
- NOTE: arcpy changes for ArcGIS Pro (Python 3.x) include a name change: arcpy.mapping = arcpy.mp as well as some function changes
Example usage
import arc_utils as au
tbl = au.table.TableObj(path to featureclass)
# list all fields
print(tbl.fields)
Contribution guidelines
Contributions welcomed, this is a starting point for various utilities that I think could be useful within Arc.
