No module named gis

RobertKnapik — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 11:18:16 GMT

Hello,

I would like to run script in Python Command Prompt. I use arcgispro-py3. In Jupyter Notebook everything is ok. When I run script in Python Command Prompt I get message: "no module named gis".

I will be grateful for your help,

Robert

perhaps you script had something like this?

from arcgis.gis import GIS‍‍

where GIS is capitalized.

I have "from arcgis.gis import GIS", but problem is the same. In jupyter notebook is ok.

I know that works in Jupyter notebook... I just tried it and it works in Jupyter QTconsole as well

So you will have to show your script if you are running it from the python prompt rather than running stuff in one of the IDE's that can be used with ArcGIS PRO

In the future I would like to run the script via Windows Server task scheduler, but I'm worried if it works if it does not work in Python Command Prompt.

there might be a disconnect between the required python that is needed and the one associated with your command prompt.

run a sys.path to see what is returned to see if everything is associated with the anaconda distribution the Pro uses.

When I run sys.path I get something like this:

hmmm. look sort of normal, but I don't have it installed for all users, so I am not sure about some of the other entries.

That leave you with showing how you are trying to launch the script... and the script itself, the issue may lie in the contents of the py file.

In Python Command Prompt I try to open python script from a disk location for example:

(arcgispro-py3) E:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3>E:\Scripts\script.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Scripts\script.py", line 2, in <module>
from arcgis.gis import GIS
ImportError: No module named gis

My script:

Here is an example of how to run a script from the command prompt

here is the script

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from arcgis.gis import GIS
print("hello")‍‍‍

I don't understand why in jupyter notebook everything is ok. I use the same enviroment. I also try use propy.bat. It is describe here: Run stand-alone scripts—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop

Re: No module named gis

try forward slashes in the script path or enclose it in quotes.

Better still try my example script and see if it works.

or it could be something with your environment.

good luck

Atma Mani‌ Rohit Singh‌ are either of you monitoring threads?

This seems less ArcGIS api -ish, so you might want to move it or comment if it is

I am having a similar issue. I can run the script fine in the python window in ArcPro but I when I try to run it in the Python Command Prompt I get the "ModuleNotFoundError: No Module named 'arcgis.gis'; arcgis is not a package" .

Thanks

Hi,

In my case, the ArcGIS Pro installation repair helped

I got this same error, for a script that was working just fine in the past... hopefully this fix helps!
