How to set an separate input and output workspace environment?

PeterWilson — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 16:07:54 GMT

I have written a Python module that handles the pre-processing and ArcHydro. As part of the pre-processing it generates a set of rasters that are saved in a separate directory. The following rasters are then used as input to generate Feature Classes that are then saved in a File Geodatabase in a separate directory. I have split the following module into two functions, one for the rasters and the other for the Feature Classes. I then have a main function below that calls both the functions to pre-process the rasters and feature classes. In the first function I have set the workspace environment to the rasters directory that works well. The problem that I have is within the second function where I need to access the rasters as input but need to alter the output so that the Feature Classes are saved into the File Geodatabase without having to specify the output path manually for each Feature Class. I have attached below the directory structure of the rasters folder as well as the File Geodatabase where the Feature Classes are saved, as well as my current code.

Any advice in how to handle separate input and output workspace environments without having to specify the paths manually will be appreciated.
