ArcGIS Server 10.5 Linux; arcpy: arcgisscripting._mapping not found

ChristophGraf — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 14:15:19 GMT

I try to execute the following code on an ArcGIS Server for Linux installation (Version 10.5, BuildNumber 8707):

import arcpy

arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('blank.aprx')

and get the following Error:

File "/opt/anaconda/envs/arcgis/lib/python3.5/site-packages/arcpy/_mp.py", line 283, in __init__

self._arc_object = arcgisscripting._mapping.ArcGISProject(*gp_fixargs((aprx_path,), True))

AttributeError: module 'arcgisscripting' has no attribute '_mapping'

the same code works fine on Windows with an ArcGIS Pro 2.0 Installation (Build Number 8933).

Is there same API-Change I am not aware of? Did I mess up during the setup? How can I investigate this issue further?

Pro uses Python 3.x, ArcGIS Server still uses 2.x (2.7 I believe). The .mp module is new to Pro

And although you didn't specifically mention publishing to Server from Pro, that is not supported. Check this thread out

also tagging ArcGIS Enterprise‌ for more exposure.

In my code I call the new arcpy.mp API, the _mapping part which is not found is called in the background

Pro using arcpy.mp http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/arcpy/mapping/introduction-to-arcpy-mp.htm and python 3.5, ArcMap uses arcpy.mapping and python 2.7, but the version of python shouldn't be an issue (I think).

arcpy.mp is accessed through Pro's anaconda distribution. No clue how or what server uses, let alone Linux
