Import arcpy into Jupyter Nootebook

IonutAlixandroae4

Hi,

I have 3 versions of Python installed on my machine, 1st (v 2.7) which came with ArcMap 10.5, 2nd (v 3.5) which came with ArcGIS Pro and 3rd (v 3.6) which came with Anaconda 3 (for using Jupyter Nooteboks).

Now, in my notebooks I can use arcgis python API but I also want to use arcpy modules from ArcGIS Pro. Is there a workflow for this setup or some steps to take ?

Thanks,

Ionut

Unfortunately, archook hasn't been updated to work with ArcGIS Pro -- hopefully it will soon. We're also looking at other ways we can make this pattern work better in the future.

I just use pip to install archook package. It's working for me, simple and fast. I found this recently and very happy with it.

Just open the Jupyter notebook you want to work with, type in:

! pip install archook #this will find and install archook

then type in these to call arcpy to work in your Jupyter notebook.

import archook

archook.get_arcpy()

import arcpy

Note: My anaconda is 32 bit, python 2. I tried and it worked in ArcGIS version 10.6 and 10.5 for me. I'm not sure for other versions.

To use ArcPy and ArcGIS API for Python together, there is one question inevitable:

How to exchange data between two APIs?

Shaun, do you need admin access to get this anaconda functionality as you did in previous versions?

IonutAlixandroae4

Hi Shaun,

Yup. with Pro 2.1 everything resolved

Thanks a lot !

ShaunWalbridge

If you install Pro 2.1, it ships with both Jupyter and the ArcGIS API for Python in its default environment -- everything should work out of the box. You can also create environments from the Python backstage (Project > Python), and install packages from that location, without needing the command line. The start menu group for Pro includes a shortcut for Jupyter which you can use directly, or you can invoke it by running "Python Command Prompt", then typing jupyter notebook.

Let me know if that isn't clear, or you need any additional guidance. If you're using Pro, you shouldn't need to have a separate Conda install for the Python API at this time, and Pro 2.1 ships with Python 3.6, so you'll be in alignment on that front.

Cheers,

Shaun

Hi Mody,

Well, this was kinda the question I asked; about a specific transitional workflow to be able to use ArcPy and Python API both in a desktop IDE or ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro and also in Jupyter Notebooks; but it is a bit confusing especially because there are different versions of python used for ArcMap (2.7), ArcGIS Pro(3.5) and Anaconda 3 for Jupyter Notebooks (3.6); for me, I haven`t been able to use them together.

I can only use Python API in JUpyter (without ArcPy), and ArcPy in ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro (without Python API).

Hopefully in the near future I will be able to install some upgrades or something to integrate them.

Thanks,

Ionut

Hello all

Reading this form and https://community.esri.com/thread/191758-how-to-run-python-with-the-arcgis-pro-14-from-outside and some of Dan's blogs makes me very confused.

We use Jupiter notebook as main python environment because it has good interface with some other products we use (not GIS). We would like to "import arcpy" and work just like we do in IDLE or pyscripter. We have Pro 2.0 installed (and ArcMap).

Our machines are NOT connected to the web so we need to understand exactly what we need to download and install.

Can somebody summarize the easiest way? Is Pro 2.1 will make it better?

Thanks

Jupyter is awesome and I enjoy using it, but I wouldn't call it an IDE. An IDE will typically include things like build automation tools, utilities to interact with the underlying file system, built in debugging and so on. Jupyter is an excellent tool for rapid data exploration, creating presentations/documents with embedded code and for creating websites that display real-time data. When building a full Python application then an IDE such as PyCharm or Visual Studio will be more suitable for your needs. Some Python IDEs include an .ipynb editor (such as PyCharm) which allow you to view notebooks as well.

curtvprice

It doesn't sound very "intranet" if you can connect to the Conda repository.

DanPatterson_Retired

check out 'spyder' is you are using ArcGIS Pro. And you can use IPython separately as well (my blog has a few posts)

I am very new to Jupyter Notebook, and I wrote less than 10 lines of code in it, so what I am saying is limited to my own knowledge.

I have to admit it looks amazing, it works like a magic with some executable code in a nice technical article. but I am not sure it's the best python IDE if it is an IDE at all. For me, Notebook is for presenting not for developing. I have a little more experience with PythonWin, PyScripter and WingIDE, I find these IDEs provide a developer far more powerful debugging tools. I may use notebook to document some of my python tools for ArcGIS Online and Portal.

additionally, I see Notebook as an ideal terminal to interact with web services that return tables, charts, images or maps that can be easily rendered in a browser, as the cmd window to many locally installed applications.

Thanks for any input to this discussion, I am learning...

In my case working in an intranet environment, that's not an issue. You can just turn the ssl off temporarily, add the packages, and then turn it on back on.

curtvprice

in python command window type:
conda config --set ssl_verify false
Then you will have no problems.

This is highly discouraged as it is a serious security risk, by passing https requirements set up by your organization. Better to set up a SSL certificate or use ssh authentication.

LefterisKoumis

The jupyter notebook is the best IDE that it's available for developing/troubleshooting python scripts. Also you can easily modify existing geoprocessing tools in notebook to create REST services to be used in custom web apps. I don't even use Portal/ArcGIS Online.

DanPatterson_Retired

Uses?

prototyping... teaching... many uses and it is not restricted to making maps.

Some examples and background and check the discussion ipnb and pdf there

Notebooks exist for R and Julia etc making a sort of one-interface option without the fluff of a full-fledged IDE

Arcpy is also embedded within the ArcGIS module in fact, if you don't have arcpy, you can still work with geometry since they expose access to shapely, and use Pandas for attribute access and processing.

Sadly, it still isn't incorporated into geonet, which would be nice, allowing people to test python code (for instance) with their own data online and maybe within a question thread

simoxu

I am just curious why you need to use ArcPy in notebook at the first place, by my understanding, ArcPy is a local API which is best to run inside of ArcGIS desktop products like Pro, ArcMap, ArcCatalog even some stand-alone scripts. While notebook and ArcGIS API for Python is a good technical combination for Portal/ArcGIS Online which basically supports the rest API...

Sorry, I know this is rather a comment than a practical solution.

LefterisKoumis

I spent numerous hours trying to figure out why I couldn't install my packages (like arcgis) using the ArcGIS Pro python package, only to find out that I had to disable the security first. So, in python commnad window type:

conda config --set ssl_verify false

Then you will have no problems.

An easier way is to simply install the Python API using ArcGIS Pro's python package manager as explained here https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/install-and-set-up/#Install-using-ArcGIS-Pro

This only works if you have administrative access to the machine. These definitely more complicated instructions allow you to use a per-user (ie no admin required) Conda setup that is entirely independent of ArcGIS.

Hi Atma,

Yes, I also think that the first problem I reported should be investigated by the Pro team, it may be a bug or something.

Also, I started Python cmd as Admin and tried to update arcgis but there`s a conflict or something and also, if I try to open jupyter notebook, I am missing some modules I think...

If I install Anaconda 3 and also Python API, isn`t there another way to "bring" ArcGIS Pro arcpy into it?

Thanks, I really appreciate your support!

Ionut, I will send this to the Pro team to investigate. Meanwhile, can you update the package by using the Python command prompt and typing

conda upgrade -c esri arcgis<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

This should update the package. From the screenshot, you have installed Pro for all users, in C:\program files. Hence start the Python command prompt as an administrator.

IonutAlixandroae4

Hi Atma,

I have tried using ArcGIS Pro and I saw that I already had arcgis package installed (version 0.1); when I tried to update it, it ran a progress bar but nothing happened, nothing updated, and I don`t know why.

After that, I opened Python command prompt of ArcGIS Pro and typed "jupyter notebook" and got an error..

Thanks,

Ionut

Then start your notebooks using the 'Python Command Prompt' that ships with Pro. You are good to go. You can import both ArcPy and the Python API.

Here is what I found.

Did you check Adding the Arcpy Path to Anaconda in https://community.esri.com/groups/spatial-data-science/blog/2016/02/11/connecting-arcpy-to-your-jupyter-notebook ?

Also check the attachment. Hope it is helpful.
