gis.content.get not working as expected

JohnBroecher — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 14:43:56 GMT

This script works on my Anaconda Python 3.6.4 but I need to run it from the Pro Python installation and it fails saying that the item object has no attribute export. It is supposed to download create an item and download it as a GDB do disk. It seems that gis.content.get function results in a different object type. How can I get this to work in the Pro Python installation?

from arcgis.gis import *
import time
import sys
gis = GIS(username="username", password="pswd")
data_item_id = '259558969c234c669667adf956e6939d'

data_item = gis.content.get(data_item_id)
title="Test_Export" + time.strftime("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")
print(data_item) # for testing
print(sys.version) # for testing
outputgdb = data_item.export(title=title,export_format="File Geodatabase",wait=True)

The printed output when it works (data_item and sys.version):

>>> <Item title:"Secure_SD_Roadkill" type:Feature Layer Collection owner:username>

I found the problem. The working python install has arcgis module 1.2.1 and the non-working one has 1.0.1. I had to uninstall pro completely and re-install it. There was a bug in older version of Pro that prevents updating the python modules. Now I have arcgis module 1.2.5 and it works. It was a Pro 1.X updated to 2.0.1, but not uninstalled during the update. Now its a clean Pro 2.1.0 install.
