Layers from geobatabase missing using arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG

Hi,

I have several MXD projects that I export with arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG. In these MXDs, there are some layers wich are shapefiles, and other layers that are stored in a personal geodatabase.

When I use python for exporting, only the layers that are shapefiles appear on the PNG file.

When I execute my script directly in ArcCatalalog, I don't have this problem. It's only when I execute the script by double-clicking on the .py file.

Any idea of what's wrong?

import arcpy, os

folderPath = r"D:\Projet\MRC\Incendie\2014-03_Intervention\Temps d'invervention"

for filename in os.listdir(folderPath):

fullpath = os.path.join(folderPath, filename)

if os.path.isfile(fullpath):

basename, extension = os.path.splitext(fullpath)

if extension.lower() == ".mxd":

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(fullpath)

arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG(mxd,

basename + '.png',

data_frame = "PAGE_LAYOUT",

df_export_width = 6800,

df_export_height = 4400,

resolution = 400,

world_file = False,

color_mode = "24-BIT_TRUE_COLOR",

background_color = "255, 255, 255",

interlaced = False)

del mxd

I found the solution myself.

The problem is that Personnal geodatabases are no longer supported by 64-bits geoprocessing.

To workaround, I had to change my system PATH variable from

C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.2 to C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2

(for using along with batch script) as well as my file association (for double-clicking on the .py file).
