Is there a way to print out how many features are selected under a buffer for analysis purposes using Python? I have the following script where I put an 805-meter buffer around grocery stores, and brought in a shapefile called schools and wanted to know how many schools fall within 805 meters (which is 0.5 miles) of a grocery store? When I run the script it shows me the selection of schools, but I was wondering if there was a way I can make the program print or create table full of values on how many features are selected under the buffering circle. Please let me know. Thank you!
