Locates arcpy and makes it available to the running python distribution

Project description

PyPI version

archook

Searches the (windows) system for arcgis and makes arcpy available to python (regardless of pythonpath/system path/registry settings). It's typically used when using a python distribution that's wasn't installed by ArcGIS. Ones downloaded direct from Python.org or a conda environment for two examples.

If ArcGIS is not found, an ImportError is thrown.

Use pro=True to target ArcGIS Pro instead of ArcGIS Desktop.

Example usage

ArcGIS Desktop

try:
    import archook #The module which locates arcgis
    archook.get_arcpy()
    import arcpy
except ImportError:
    # do whatever you do if arcpy isnt there.

ArcGIS Pro

try:
    import archook #The module which locates arcgis
    archook.get_arcpy(pro=True)
    import arcpy
except ImportError:
    # do whatever you do if arcpy isnt there.

Note: You may need to create a conda-meta directory in your Python interpreter's directory (referred to by sys.prefix) if you get an error like the following:

ImportError("arcpy needs to run within an active ArcGIS Conda environment")
