ERROR 000732 when converting kml to layer with python

Anonymous User — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 07:11:19 GMT

Hi All,

I am relatively new to python. I am trying to convert km* files into layers in a GDB but I am getting the following error: ERROR 000732: Input KML File: Dataset 413 REDD Project.kml does not exist or is not supported
Failed to execute (KMLToLayer).

Any comments would be highly appreciated

import arcpy
import os
# Set workspace (where all the KMLs are)
arcpy.env.workspace = r'H:\My Drive\map of carbon projects\kmz'

# Set local variables and location for the consolidated file geodatabase
outLocation = r'H:\My Drive\map of carbon projects\shp'
MasterGDB = 'AllKMLLayers.gdb'

MasterGDBLocation = os.path.join(outLocation, MasterGDB)

# Create the master FileGeodatabase
arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(outLocation, MasterGDB)

# Convert all KMZ and KML files found in the current workspace
for kmz in arcpy.ListFiles('*.KM*'):
    print("CONVERTING: {0}".format(os.path.join(arcpy.env.workspace, kmz)))
    arcpy.KMLToLayer_conversion(kmz, outLocation)

# Change the workspace to fGDB location
arcpy.env.workspace = outLocation

# Loop through all the FileGeodatabases within the workspace
wks = arcpy.ListWorkspaces('*', 'FileGDB')
# Skip the Master GDB
wks.remove(MasterGDBLocation)

for fgdb in wks:

    # Change the workspace to the current FileGeodatabase
    arcpy.env.workspace = fgdb

    # For every Featureclass inside, copy it to the Master and use the name from the original fGDB
    featureClasses = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses('*', '', 'Placemarks')
    for fc in featureClasses:
        print("COPYING: {0} FROM: {1}".format(fc, fgdb))
        fcCopy = os.path.join(fgdb, 'Placemarks', fc)
        arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(fcCopy, MasterGDBLocation, fgdb[fgdb.rfind(os.sep) + 1:-4])

Could it be a problem that the kml name starts with a number or the spaces in your pathnames?

from Solved: Python standalone script using ArcGIS Pro license - Esri Community

for kmz in arcpy.ListFiles("*.km*"): print("CONVERTING: {0}".format(os.path.join(arcpy.env.workspace, kmz))) kmzFile = os.path.join(arcpy.env.workspace, kmz) arcpy.KMLToLayer_conversion(kmzFile, out_location)

You just did the path joining for the print statement but didn't carry it over to the KMLToLayer line
