env() reference

Anonymous User — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 18:13:28 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to use Pycharm, as IDE for python, but it seemd that the function arcpy.env is missing from __init_.PY...

I'm using C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.5 interpreter.

When I try to run it inside PyCharm I get :

C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.5\python.exe U:/Prog/PYScript/Geosoft2ArcGIS.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "U:/Prog/PYScript/Geosoft2ArcGIS.py", line 12, in <module>
import arcpy
File "c:\arcgis\desktop10.7\ArcPy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
from arcpy.geoprocessing import gp
ImportError: cannot import name gp

it is there,

from arcpy.geoprocessing import gp

dir(gp)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattr__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass_.... snip ...‍‍‍‍

can you do a basic... import arcpy ..., if not then your environment isn't installed properly or you are using the wrong python and not the one distributed with Arc*

nothing showing in your response, so did the simple

import arcpy

work or did it fail too?

I've repaired ArcGIS

In Pycharm the interpreter is : I've attached a screen capture.

C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.5\python.exe

After running this is what shows :

Let's try again

import Arcpy

is wrong... use lowercase for 'arcpy'.

Also, whats up with the 7 jpg files every time you post.

You can embed images in a thread using the camera icon on the button bar above.

Hi Dan, sorry about the capital A in Arcpy, I'm used to vba, no need to worry about leter cases !

I've corrected it and it't back to my gp problem

When I run this code :

import arcpy

I get :

Re: env() reference

You have to point pycharm to use the pythonw.exe (or python.exe) that is in the same path as arcpy. "c:\arcgis\desktop10.7\ArcPy\....

somewhere in that path, however, remembering back to the arcmap days, I thought python was installed in a c:\python\arcmapxxx\ path???

ArcGIS Pro cleans this all up.

In any event, you have to locate the 'arcpy' folder, backtrack to find the python.exe file in that path and set pycharm to use it and not another python, which I suspect you have installed somewhere.

If you need 64 bit, you should also switch to Pro if possible, since there are a number of issues with the background geoprocessing and separate python install that is required.

Good luck

Dan you are correct. ArcMap's default install path ( At least on my machine ) is:

C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\python.exe

For Pro, the path to python for my machine is:

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe

Yves, have you tried a full uninstall and reinstall of arcmap?

Hi Dan,

I've removed the Python option (modify the ArcMap installation), then add it again.

It's now saved in C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7, I've tried both the Python and Pythonw

sys.path.extend(['U:\\Prog\\PYScript', 'C:/Python27/ArcGIS10.7'])

I've pointed Pycharm to C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7, but arcpy is somewhere else, in the ArcGIS folder, C:\ArcGIS\Desktop10.7\arcpy,

They are in seperate folders. no Python.exe in Arcpy folder (clean install)

Re: env() reference

DanPatterson_Retired — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 16:16:25 GMT

sorry, not an arcmap user... conda and Pro and Spyder

But

Importing ArcPy—Help | ArcGIS Desktop

gives a protracted discussion of sys paths and paths and imports. In essence, you IDE has to make sure it can find arcpy especially if it was installed before arcmap.

Perhaps one of the lurking pycharm ers or pyscripter s will leap in to the rescue to sort out your dilema

Joshua Bixby‌ ? Joe Borgione‌ ? Matthew Driscoll‌ ? amongst the arcmap users viewing this thread. Any ideas? (besides switching to ArcGIS Pro)

Yves Allaire‌, let's cut out the script itself and try just running the import codes from within the Python console in PyCharm, just make sure the console interpreter is set to the same one you want to test.

PyDev console: starting.

Hi Joshua,

Re: env() reference

JoshuaBixby — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 18:38:32 GMT

Your screenshot shows you running the script. I am asking you to open a clean Python console and try importing the arcpy module.

When I create a new project from scratch and go to the Python console here is what I get:

Are you able to import any packages for that Python bundle, e.g., numpy, xlrd, etc...

Re: env() reference

Anonymous User — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:53:12 GMT

I was able to import (install) them

Re: env() reference

DanPatterson_Retired — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:58:03 GMT

Joe means import from the command line in the python IDE, not install them. The packages may indeed be installed but in a different "Site Packages"
