SearchCursor won't reset?

RobertMartin2

I am trying to get my feet wet with Python but something has me stumped. I made a test feature class with just one object and used that to instantiate a cursor. I looped over the FC and told it to print some text each time, which it did. I then reset the cursor and tried doing the same thing again but nothing prints. This is how my code looks:

>>> rows = arcpy.SearchCursor("pyLateralLine") >>> for row in rows: ...     print "something"

Can anyone think of what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks!

Calling .reset() is sketchy as best (it doesn't work on certain storage formats), you'll want to create a new SearchCursor object pointing to the same data.
