Geocoding in python - workk with Composite Locators?

Question

I've been trying to geocode a file geodatabase table against a composite locator in a python script. When I run it in PyScripter, it gives an EAccessViolation error, which according to Google is a memory error in the program (PyScripter). But I also get an error when running it in IDLE, although the error message is far less detailed. The composite locator is in a folder on another server. It has both point and road centerline locators. Is it possible to use a composite locator in python, or am I looking in the wrong direction? childcare_table = os.path.join(table_locations, "Childcare") geocoded_fc = os.path.join(table_locations, "LARA", "LARA_CDC") geocoder = r"\gisfile\gis\Static\Geocoders\Composite_Locator" address_fields = "Street Fac_Addr;City City;Zip Zip" global ok try: print(" Running geocoding...") arcpy.GeocodeAddresses_geocoding(childcare_table, geocoder, address_fields, geocoded_fc) except: print("Unexpected error {0} {1}".format(sys.exc_info()[0], sys.exc_info()[1])) arcpy.AddError(sys.exc_info()[1]) ok = False‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks again. One other odd thing is that even when manually geocoding by right clicking, I can't change the default resulting file name from Geocoding_Result. Whenever I enter something else I get an Error saving file message.

Its a mystery, I would log a support call.  I'll ask around the shop here if we're aware of any incompatibilities and reply here if I hear anything.

Thanks Bruce, but not working there either, at least in PyScripter. PyScripter - application error: Access violation at address 5E0E150C in module 'GpGeocodingFunctions.dll'. Read of address 00000000.

I can manually geocode the table in ArcCatalog by right clicking and selecting Geocode addresses.
