How to create a point and see what it intersects with

Question

Can anyone see anything wrong with the following code?

I'm not getting any intersections even though I know that point is definitely within myFeatureLayer.

How does that deal with projection?
pt = arcpy.Point(x,y)
    ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(pt)
    
    cur = arcpy.SearchCursor(myFeaturelayer)
    for arow in cur:
        geom = arow.shape
        if ptGeometry .touches(geom):
            arcpy.AddMessage("intersects")
            break

Could you try replacing ptGeometry.touches(geom) by ptGeometry.within(geom) or by ptGeometry.crosses(geom) because touches, according to the ArcGIS help, indicates if the boundaries of the geometries intersect. Within indicates if this geometry is contained within another geometry and crosses idicates if the two geometries intersect in a geometry of lesser dimension.

Succes,
