Running a Model from A model in Python

TaiDuong

Trying to run a Model from a Model by exporting to Python. It's been painful so far but I'm close. One last issue. My Model runs ok and when called from a Master Model it also runs fine. BUT when I export a Python file, then edit to make it overwrite (arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True) and then paste the script in the Python window I get the following.

 

 

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""

"""
import arcpy
from DaylightFP.DaylightFPx1 import DaylightFPx1

def MasterModelFP(): # MasterModelFP

# To allow overwriting outputs change overwriteOutput option to True.
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True

main_multipolygons_2_ = "main.multipolygons"
main_lines_2_ = "main.lines"

# Process: DaylightFPx1 (2) (DaylightFPx1) (DaylightFP)
World_8_5_32_98_FP_shp_2_ = "D:\\ESRI-Daylight\\NCERTS_1.0\\World_8_5\\World_8_5_32_-98_FP.shp"
DaylightFPx1(Output_Shapefile=World_8_5_32_98_FP_shp_2_, Input_Polygons=main_multipolygons_2_, Input_Lines=main_lines_2_)

if __name__ == '__main__':
# Global Environment settings
with arcpy.EnvManager(scratchWorkspace="C:\\ArcGIS_Scratch\\NXTScratch.gdb", workspace="C:\\ArcGIS_Scratch\\NXTScratch.gdb"):
MasterModelFP()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'DaylightFP'

 

I'm sure it's something very simple but I'm at a loss. Help !

If you want to run another model (or script tool) using arcpy, use the Import Toolbox function to add the model's toolbox, then run it like so: arcpy.toolbox_label.ModelName(param1, param2). Toolbox items aren't accessible as Python modules and trying to call an exported script file directly is possible, but error prone without practice.
