Convert Count from GetCount to Int without using Pandas

Ed_ — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 18:33:17 GMT

Based on the code below how can I store the resultant value from GetCount in a numeric datatype? When I try the `int` function I get the following error:

TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'Result'

Code:

import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data/data.gdb" Count = arcpy.management.GetCount("roads") Count = int(Count)

Never mind, the following fixes it by adding getOutput(0)

import arcpy arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/data/data.gdb" Count = int(arcpy.management.GetCount("roads").getOutput(0))

Always proving there's more than one way to skin a cat[fish]:

count = int(arcpy.management.GetCount('feature')[0])

If you ask for the first index on that Result object, you get the actual result/number, itself—albeit as a string (I think). Don't quote me on the exact datatype, but I know this is the syntax I typically use, and I haven't seen any errors from it, yet.
