Bad file descriptor error when Updating attributes

ionarawilson1 — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 14:52:25 GMT

The user digitizes a polygon and with the record selected it adds attributes to the record with a toolbox. The script works well without the 5th parameter (PlanEQIP) but I get a strange error message when I have this parameter. Does anybody know what the problem would be? Would it be because the field is short integer but the parameter data type is set to long?

Thanks!

Here is part of the code:

################################################## # #Script:  Attribute Table for reporting (Stewardship) #  ##################################################  #Import modules import os, sys, arcpy, traceback, arcgisscripting  #Set Map Document mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("Current")  #Set Overwrite Option arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True   df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]  gp = arcgisscripting.create(10.1) #del row #del rows try: #Sets parameters (attributes)     Status = gp.GetParameterAsText(0)     Office =  gp.GetParameterAsText(1)     Forester = gp.GetParameterAsText(2)     DateStart = gp.GetParameterAsText(3)     PlanEQIP = gp.GetParameter(4)      StatusDomain = {'Completed': 'C', 'Pending': 'P'}     StatusCode = StatusDomain[Status]      officeDomain = {'Alpine': 'AL', 'Austin': 'AU', 'Carthage': 'CA', 'Corpus Christi': 'CC', 'Conroe': 'CO', 'Crockett': 'CR',                       'Crockett':'CR', 'College Station': 'CS', 'Canyon': 'CY', 'Dallas': 'DA', 'El Paso': 'EP', 'Fort Worth': 'FW',                       'Gilmer': 'GI', 'Granbury': 'GR', 'Hamilton': 'HA', 'Henderson': 'HE'}     officeCode= officeDomain[Office]     foresterDomain = {'Brittany Compton': 'bcompton', 'Brian Pope': 'bpope', 'Buster Robinson': 'brobinson',                         'Clay Bales': 'cbales', 'Daniel Duncum': 'dduncum', 'Daniel Lewis': 'dlewis'}     foresterCode = foresterDomain[Forester]   #Create Update Cursor     #Create Update Cursor    #This pre with arcpy.da prevents data locks. Another way of doing is (but it does not prevent data locks)  ##    rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor("Stewardship") ##    for row in rows: ##        row.Office = officeCode ##        row.Forester = foresterCode ##        rows.updateRow(row)       with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor("Stewardship", ("Status", "Office", "Forester", "DateStart", "PlanEQIP")) as rows:         # row comes back as a tuple in the order specified here, so Office is row[0], Forester is row[1]         for row in rows:             row[0] = StatusCode             row[1] = officeCode             row[2] = foresterCode             row[3] = DateStart             row[4] = PlanEQIP             rows.updateRow(row)

And here is the error

According to this article the problem occurs due to print statements

http://support.esri.com/es/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/35380

I had a print statement in one of the tool validation methods. I deleted the print statement and that fixed the issue.

Instead of print you should use arcpy.AddMessage(). This allows things to be printed to the screen whether you are running from the command prompt or as a script tool.
