Hi Phil, using this approach are also also able to run Jupyter notebook. Can you install other open source libraries such as GDAL, geopandas, cartopy etc also still be able to use arcpy? That is, mix and match arcpy with other open source libraries in the same script.  ... View more

With the release of ArcGIS Pro 2.0, is the process of installing and running the arcpy from outside a little bit easier? I would appreciate some feedback if anyone has tried running new arcpy with Pro 2.0. ... View more

No this is an integer raster. See the picture of the table. Upon mosaicking, the 'HYDGRP" column dissapears. I have multiple rasters with the same structure of attribute table. I intend to merge them into single seamless raster, with the same original table structure.   ... View more

Hi Shaun Walbridge. I tried the first approach - cloning the arcgis pro. But the cloning process got stuck at some point so I could not finish the cloning process. I think the issue was that I had already installed additional packages both using Pro and also from outside using conda/pip etc. So I think one of these packages (geos or something similar) was a problem. Anyway here is my question. Say I successfully the clone the ArcGIS Pro in my new environment "myenv." Can I now use "myenv" for all my Python work such as using arcpy, installing additional third party libraries etc. I am just curious how the licensing will work for arcpy because now you are in a new environment. ...

Yeah pip should work, even conda install works. The Python that comes with ArcGIS Pro is not flexible enough to allow user the choice to install other open source packages. Especially, the ones related to open source GIS libraries. My whole interest in starting this question was to find out if anyone has been successful in using the ArcGIS Pro Python for all their workflow. My intent is to have the latest version of 64-bit Python to accomplish all my work, including the ArcPy functionalities.  ... View more

Thank you Rebecca Strauch, GISPShaun Walbridge Dan Patterson. I also spent some time figure out the issues based on your comments/suggestions. Here's what I did. I was able to run Python 3.5 from the default ArcGIS pro installation of Python. While Jupyter notebook and other packages can be directly installed from inside the ArcGIS pro Python panel, installing arcgis python package also helped setup the Jupyter notebook (even though arcgis python and arcpy are separate products). I would definitely recommend arcgis python. But these are the issues I faced in my work. ArcGIS Pro python is quite restrictive, and I could not install other open source libraries such as GDAL, Geopandas etc. Since, my workflow depend on ArcPy, along with many other open source libraries I am unable to commit fully to ArcGIS Pro Python for all my work. So I also have Anaconda Python 2.7 for ArcMap 10.5. Definitely, not the solution I was looking for because now I constantly have to switch between the two installations of Python, and this is definitely as hassle (contrary to the spirit of Python). I would have liked the workflow similar to ArcGIS Desktop which allows you to install you own Python (Anaconda for example) and continue working with ArcPy by just including it in path. ...

Hi Dan_Patterson I checked your blog on Anaconda, Spyer and ArcGIS PRO. I was able to follow some parts but not everything. I think things has changed in the new PRO 1.4 since this blog. So anyway thats my confusion, since new ArcGIS PRO 1.4 already comes with conda/anaconda, along with the ability to add more packages, I want to make this one work for all my workflow without having to install additional copy of Anaconda Python on my system. With the requirement of 32-bit Python 2.7 for ArcGIS Desktop, its already a mess.  Specifically, I am unable to launch Jupyter notebook. Previously, with I was able to run this smoothly, now this does not work. Actually I think I have not been able to set this up. Before I try on my own and break something I was hoping that if someone has done this, I can follow your advice. ... View more

Thank Dan. So based on your response, there is no way to replicate the old ArcGIS Desktop 10.4 arcpy behavior with the new ArcGIS Pro 1.4. With older setup, I just installed Anaconda Python with all its goodies and updates and just inserted a path to arcpy, and everything worked like charm. Even updating the newer version of Numpy, Matplotlib created no issues.  Even though the Pro document says, its comes pre-installed with conda, it seems pretty restrictive. I haven't been able to figure out how to run Ipython/Jupyter notebook. ... View more
