Whilst I followed your steps above and copied the the desktop.pth file created from my ArcGIS install across to my PythonXY install, I found that the install of ArcGIS has mean that the pythonxy console no longer works. Spyder and the idle consul work from the start menu but the shortcut for Python(xy) console doesn't work any more. Any ideas why ArcGIS 10.2 causes this module to fail? Note, I did a vanilla install of both pythonXY (2.7) and ArcGIS 10.2.0. ... View more

I managed to get PythonXY to utilise the ArcPy module by copying the desktop10.2.pth file from c:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\Lib\site-packages\ and pasting it into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\ In this way I was able to do a vanilla install of ArcGIS (including Python) as well as a vanilla install of PythonXY. In this secnario, PythonXY can call the ArcPy module so if you want to use Spyder to author and run python scripts that perform spatial functions you can. It also means you can write python scripts that do spatial functions and also leverage other PythonXY scientific modules as well. ... View more
