Export model to Python and local variables are still hard-coded

blake.terhune

Is there a way to export a model to a Python script and avoid the local variable paths from being hard-coded? In the sample code below, you can see the export took the effort to make the beginning parameters into variables but the rest of the script still has the same path hard-coded. What's up with that?

# Import arcpy module

# Local variables:
TEMP_Point = "N:\\TechTemp\\BlakeT\\Work\\TEMP.gdb\\TEMP_Point"
TEMP_gdb = "N:\\TechTemp\\BlakeT\\Work\\TEMP.gdb"

# Process: Table to Table
arcpy.TableToTable_conversion(TEMP_Point, TEMP_gdb, "TEMP_Pont_Output", "", "Note1 \"Note1\" true true false 50 Text 0 0 ,First,#,N:\\TechTemp\\BlakeT\\Work\\TEMP.gdb\\TEMP_Point,Note1,-1,-1;Note2 \"Note2\" true true false 50 Text 0 0 ,First,#,N:\\TechTemp\\BlakeT\\Work\\TEMP.gdb\\TEMP_Point,Note2,-1,-1", "")

Hi Blake,

The only place it hard-coded any values was during the optional field mapping, which unless you are using you could remove all the optional parameters out, and only work with the 3 required parameters.  I don't believe there is anyway to stop this from happening, but if you are not using the optional parameters, simply removing them after exporting the script.
