pythonwin_arcgis 10.0_Exception Raised

KhyatiPatel — Mon, 02 Nov 2015 07:08:14 GMT

I have ArcGIS 10.0 (python 2.6.5 - installed with it).

Besides, I installed python 2.7 and PYHTHONWIN (pywin32-219.win32-py2.7).

I am learning python following 'PYTHON Scripting for ArcGIS By Paul Zandbergen'.

- I tried to run a very simple script in python shell and it runs correctly.

- The same script when run in pythonwin it displays 'Exception raised while running script...'

Please guide. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

What is the exception?

as luke said, we need some detail on the exception to help .

Be aware tha your pythonwin 2.7 does not have the arcgis/arcpy package. so any "import arcgisscriting" or "import arcpy" will fail.

Note that python 2.7 comes withe every arcgis 10.1+ release , and that 10.0 support stops in december.

Yes... the error I am getting is as below -

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named arcpy

In this case - if the versions are an issue what are my options to work with Python?

I have access only to arcgis 10.0.

Thanks a lot to Luke and Alexandre.

Also, I just installed pythonwin 2.6 and still getting the same error

PythonWin 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

>>> import arcpy

what yo need to do is to install python from arcgis setup, not to install python 2.6 with a standard python setup.

Esri's packaged python comes with any dependency needed.
