I looked and looked but I can't find anything that lets the user to change the parser default to python for label expressions. The default is vb so when I run my arcpy script it list my python expression in the vb which doesn't work because it's in a different language. Can someone help me? import os import arcpy # if outside ArcMap # inside ArcMap, use "CURRENT" for document name mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Users\aa2zz6\Desktop\test\Untitled.mxd") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, '')[0] for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "P_Meters"): print lyr.name if lyr.supports("LABELCLASSES"): print lyr.name + " supports label classes" for lblClass in lyr.labelClasses: print lblClass.className lblClass.expression = lblClass.expression = '"{}" + [HOUSENUMBER] + "{}"'.format("<CLR red = '255' green = '255' blue = '255'><FNT size = '10'>","</FNT></CLR>") if lblClass.showClassLabels: print " Class Name: " + lblClass.className print " Expression: " + lblClass.expression lyr.showLabels = True del mxd‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi Dan, I did try using the example code but it didn't work. I'll post my code and error. Edit: If I run the symbology to TOC part of the script inside the map python it works great. Why is it not able to run outside in IDLE? # Name: Create Map # Import system modules import arcpy from arcpy import env # Rebuild Map Workspace # mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Users\aa2zz6\Desktop\test\Untitled.mxd") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "*")[0] # Add layer to TOC # addLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"I:\UPDM.gdb\P_PipeSystem\P_Meters") arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "BOTTOM") addLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"I:\UPDM.gdb\P_PipeSystem\P_MeterSetting") arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "BOTTOM") addLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"I:\UPDM.gdb\P_PipeSystem\P_Regulator") arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "BOTTOM") addLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"I:\UPDM.gdb\P_PipeSystem\P_TownBorderStation") arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "BOTTOM") mxd.save() # Apply Symbology to TOC layer #Set layer to apply symbology to lyr = "P_Meters" # Set layer that output symbology will be based on ymbolLyr = r"C:\Users\aa2zz6\Desktop\test\Meters.lyr" # Apply the symbology from the symbology layer to the input layer arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(lyr, symbolLyr) Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\aa2zz6\Downloads\CREATE NEW MXD.py", line 38, in arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(lyr, symbolLyr) NameError: name 'symbolLyr' is not defined
