support with python 27

MeghanKulkarni — Mon, 31 Dec 2018 20:14:35 GMT

Hello ESRI Team,

I’m trying to get ArcGIS API for Python locally installed on my workstation. My workstation config is as follows:

Windows 64-bit OS
Python 27 (which comes along with ArcGIS 10.5.1)

I used the command prompt to navigate to Scripts directory C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\Scripts>

pip install arcgis

. I’m getting below error:

C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\Scripts>pip install arcgis

Collecting arcgis

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\meghan~1.kul\appdata\local\temp\pip-install-uzcrw5\arcgis\

FYI: I have updated my setup tools. My question is that ArcGIS API for Python not supported with Python 27?

My Best,

Meghan Kulkarni

Hello Meghan,

The ArcGIS API for Python only supports the use of Python 3.5+. Please see the system requirements page for the API:

System requirements | ArcGIS for Developers

I hope this helps!

Thanks, Danny. I have a follow-up question. I have installed ArcGIS 10.6.1. Python distribution I see is Python 27. Where can I find Python 3.5+ ?

Cheers,

Meghan Kulkarni

Did you read Install and set up | ArcGIS for Developers, the page lists several options for installing Python 3.x distributions for use with ArcGIS API for Python.

Meghan,

ArcGIS Server 10.6.1 comes with Python 2.7 as it is needed to use ArcPy which comes with Server. In order to use the ArcGIS API for Python you will need to install Python 3.5+ on the system you plan on using the API from. As Joshua mentioned, check out the documentation for the various ways to accomplish this.
