topic Re: Tkinter, ArcPy and Threading in Python Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/tkinter-arcpy-and-threading/m-p/1243715#M66344 <P>ArcGIS Classes (Featureclass, Layers, Fields, Maps, etc.,.) in arcpy do not play well with being transferred between python threads due to python's pickling. I haven't met anyone yet that has created their own pickling class to transfer the esri classes either. I think if you can figure out how to pickle the arcpy data class being transferred, you'll be able to get closer to a solution.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 27 Dec 2022 01:52:56 GMT Anonymous User 2022-12-27T01:52:56Z Tkinter, ArcPy and Threading https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/tkinter-arcpy-and-threading/m-p/13443#M1066 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hey All,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Just wanted to get a solid answer from someone.&nbsp; My question is very similar to:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/63390-Bug-with-arcpy-in-a-thread">http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/63390-Bug-with-arcpy-in-a-thread</A><SPAN> (2012)</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm trying to intermittently inject data into an SDE in Python (via a Tkinter interface).&nbsp; I would like to start the function in a thread so that the UI will not be locked up but everytime I call InsertCursor, for example, </SPAN><SPAN style="font-style:italic;">arcpy.InsertCursor(self.featureClassList[5])</SPAN><SPAN> within a Thread I get a catastrophic crash...&nbsp; Is this an impossible task?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>T</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 25 Feb 2014 18:45:27 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/tkinter-arcpy-and-threading/m-p/13443#M1066 TangoPapa 2014-02-25T18:45:27Z Re: Tkinter, ArcPy and Threading https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/tkinter-arcpy-and-threading/m-p/1243686#M66341 <P>Encountered the same problem, any answer?</P> Sun, 25 Dec 2022 21:04:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/tkinter-arcpy-and-threading/m-p/1243686#M66341 moriapedhazur 2022-12-25T21:04:21Z Re: Tkinter, ArcPy and Threading https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/tkinter-arcpy-and-threading/m-p/1243715#M66344 <P>ArcGIS Classes (Featureclass, Layers, Fields, Maps, etc.,.) in arcpy do not play well with being transferred between python threads due to python's pickling.
