I can use arcpy with Jupyter Notebook but do not get widgets for result display other than textual.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 29 Nov 2018 19:30:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/direct-connection-to-geodatabase-with-api/m-p/804449#M2225 HarlanMarshall 2018-11-29T19:30:44Z
