arcpy and the editor

Question

Can you detect in a script if an editing session is active?

I'm running a tabletodomains function that requires exclusive database access, I'd like to check if an editor session is active.

I resolved this by adding error checking to the script. errors = arcpy.GetMessages(2)         # Does not have exclusive access to the database         if 'ERROR 000464' in errors:             errorString = 'WARNING: There is an active editing session Editing MUST be stopped'
