Could you help with importing numpy and arcpy on Pycharm?

TshepoHlako

I'm struggling with running/importing 'numpy and arcpy' on pycharm, which points to python.exe in the Python 27 directory where ArcGIS 10.4 is installed. How else can i try importing the two modules as it gives the errors "ImportError: No module named arcpy" for both arcpy and numpy.

Thanks,
Charlie

Unless you don't have arcmap installed, the location of the salient registry files may differ

Will do, thanks Curtis

I'm guessing your registry settings or PYTHONPATH variable (which were set by the 3.7 install) are polluting your sys.path.

This archook module must clean up your sys.path. Neat idea.

To see your sys.path:

<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> sys
<SPAN class="keyword token">print</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"\n"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>join<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>sys<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>path<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>‍‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

That is referring to whether it's C:, 😧 etc.

I've tried all suggestions to avail. What seems to be working is 'archook', which according to github "Searches the system for arcgis and makes arcpy available to python (regardless of pythonpath/system path/registry settings)". Below is how i've managed to allow import for 'arcpy':

import archook
archook.get_arcpy()
import arcpy

Is "Drive" literally what is says, or is it referring to C:, , or some other drive?

You can try the 'Clone' option then

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately, i've no control over the machine, its used by other colleagues besides myself. Thanks

TshepoHlako

Hi Joshua, my Project Interpreter points to "Drive:\Python27\ArcGIS10.4"

TshepoHlako

Thanks Fred, it seemed to be running from another version of python that i had on the machine, 3.7 I'm now trying to fix that.

If you have control over your machine...

Spyder, IPython and the Jupyters are all distributed with the Anaconda distribution of Python and hence ArcGIS Pro

I regularly use PyCharm with ArcMap's and ArcGIS Pro's bundled Python interpreter. In the settings, what do you have defined for the Project Interpreters?

Hi Charlie,

Are you using a 32-bit environment about PyCharm?

I'm not using PyCharm actually, I use PyScripter to debug ArcPy code. So I've installed a PyScripter 32-bit and nor 64-bits versions.

A trick to identify your 32 or 64 bit environment is to jump on Python Console. You must have :

Python 2.7.14 (v2.7.14:84471935ed, Sep 16 2017, 20:19:30) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32. ***

Regards,

Fred
