ArcPy is Broken in ArcGIS Pro

GIS_Spellblade — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 20:23:40 GMT

I'm on a split machine with limited rights, since I got upgraded to 2.2 my ArcPy is broken. I found the following two technical articles and am working with our IT to implement them. While I'm waiting, I wanted to know; is this issue related to that? Do I need to downgrade?

We've repaired, uninstalled and re-installed on admin-level logins. ArcGIS Pro works on the admin-level logins; does not work on the limited-rights login. ArcGIS Pro was subsequently uninstalled and re-installed on the limited-rights login using admin-level credentials. We have also tried resettting the application profile.

Problem: After upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 2.2, geoprocessing tools fail to load and Python window returns "Failed to Initia…

Problem: Unable to create environments or install packages after upgrading to ArcGIS Pro 2.2

ArcGIS Pro 2.1 (Geoprocessing Broken)

This is the error message from ArcPy, and I have this one too:

Welcome aboard the ArcGIS 2.2 upgrade train: I liken it to the Beatles 'Magical Mystery Tour' album.

Start here: ArcGIS Pro 2.2.0 and Python Package Manager

I found a fix from a comment in this thread; referencing a bad file path (in red):

Hi Ghislain,

Thanks for the correction, you've put me on track to a solution! Upon "import arcpy", it seems that it's referencing a stray python path with a problematic version of numpy:

>>> import arcpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\malcolm\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 16, in <module>
from . import multiarray
ImportError: cannot import name 'multiarray'

(and more stuff)

I list the paths:

>>> import sys
>>> for p in sys.path:
... print(p)
...

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python36.zip
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\DLLs
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3
C:\Users\malcolm\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\site-packages
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcToolbox\Scripts
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\future-0.16.0-py3.6.egg
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\pytz-2018.3-py3.6.egg
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\sympy-1.1.1-py3.6.egg

(Highlighted bad path in red)

So, I can fix the problem just by renaming or removing the rogue Python location. But I am curious how the ArcGIS Pro Python installation found that path in the first place. Is C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Python a standard path that a new Python installation looks for, or was this stored somewhere?

Again, my ArcGIS Pro problem is cured once I've removed the problematic files - just curious how the ArcGIS Pro Python installation got crosswise with it. Thanks very much for your help!

If you installed for all users, it puts the installation in the c:\program.... folder and dumps a path like that for individuals.

I install mine for me only in a different folder and the 'Users path doesn't exist since it isn't needed

Thanks for the reply! I ran into a similar issue last year when I broke the Pro environment; afterwards, I think I used your technique of copying the folder as a cloned env in my main anaconda distribution to prevent it from happening again. I thought this was the same thing and have been battling this for more than a week.

This all affected my work computer so the response has been slow, and a lot harder without admin rights and with the installation in a central location.
