Hi all, So I have an incredibly frustrating error that is severely impeding my ability to do my job right now and all help would be appreciated. I have been using arcpy without issue for months, but today, after changing literally nothing I know get an error at the 'import arcpy' command. It looks like this: File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 74, in <module>     from arcpy.geoprocessing import gp   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\geoprocessing\__init__.py", line 14, in <module>     from ._base import *   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 14, in <module>     import arcgisscripting   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\arcgisscripting\__init__.py", line 119, in <module>     from ._arcgisscripting import * RuntimeError: The Product License has not been initialized. I have searcher around and while others have never gotten arcpy to work and have issues, I haven't seen anyone else with arcpy just suddenly failing on them. Please help me out! What are some ways I can pinpoint and solve this issue. ... View more

I am having a very strange and troubling issue in using arcpy I have written a script that uses shapefiles created in a separate script. These shapefile have had their geometries read and have been interacted with successfully by other script and in ArcMap. But in the new function, I am writing anything try to do in arcpy only creates empty geometries. The strange part is that everything still works fine in ArcMap, and I have manually completed each task I am trying to get the script to do successfully. I have double, triple, quadruple checked the addresses of each shapefile, and everything is exact. In addition, I copy and pasted a snippet of code I use frequently in a different script and within the current script, none of the arcpy functions produce anything. There are no error messages, only null geometry. I am quite confused and going a bit crazy about what could be going on here, and am at a loss for ways to approach it. Has anyone else encountered simular difficulties? If so what was wrong? I would really appreciate it. ... View more

So I have a loop that joins three fields from a csv, makes new fields with new names, calculates the fields based off the joined fields, and then deletes the original join field. This repeats 20 times with 20 different tables with 1000-2000 rows each. I attached a png showing the code, to help contextualize what is happening. I'd expect it to take some time, as field calculations never seem all that speedy, but it takes hours for the code to get through this step, and has hurt my coworkers ability to access the shared drive I am doing the processing on. I am wondering how I can improve the performance here, and what if anything I am doing wrong. Thank you very much, Xavier ... View more
