click on a polygon and drop a number in the designated field in sequence

Question

'm looking for a tool out there for sequential auto-numbering... something that uses the edit tool (or something similar) to simply click on a polygon and drop a number in the designated field in sequence, and it would obviously have to be easy to reset as the edit session progresses.

import os

current_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

out_zip_name = os.path.join(current_path,
os.path.basename(current_path) + ".esriaddin")

BACKUP_FILE_PATTERN = re.compile(".*_addin_[0-9]+[.]py$", re.IGNORECASE)

def looks_like_a_backup(filename):
return bool(BACKUP_FILE_PATTERN.match(filename))

with zipfile.ZipFile(out_zip_name, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) as zip_file:

sounds pretty specialized and maybe an arcobjects task.

you could have a look at

but I suspect you will have to implement your own
