How to make code loop instead of running with specific files one at a time

Hi Everyone: I have this code that works:

if not hasattr(sys, 'argv'): #only use if system has issue with relpath command
sys.argv = ['']

import arcpy, os, sys, locale

relpath = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])
p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(relpath + r'C:/Users/ggrodzinsky/Documents/ArcGIS/Projects/MyProject8/MyProject8.aprx')
m = p.listMaps()[0]
l = m.listLayers("cb_2018_us_county_500k")[0]
sym = l.symbology
if hasattr(sym, 'renderer'):
if sym.renderer.type == 'SimpleRenderer':
sym.updateRenderer('GraduatedColorsRenderer')

l.symbology = sym

sym.renderer.classificationField = 'Sheet4.AWATER'
sym.renderer.breakCount = 7

breakVal = 1000
cv = 0
lw = 1
for brk in sym.renderer.classBreaks:
brk.upperBound = breakVal
brk.label = "\u2264" + str(locale.format("%d", breakVal, grouping=True))
brk.description = "Description " + str(cv)
brk.symbol.color = {'HSV' : [cv, 100, 100, 100]}
brk.symbol.outlineColor = {'HSV' : [240-cv, 100, 100, 100]}
brk.symbol.size = lw
breakVal +=1000
cv += 40
lw += 0.5
l.symbology = sym
p.saveACopy(relpath + r'C:/Users/ggrodzinsky/Documents/ArcGIS/Projects/MyProject8/SavedOutput2.aprx')

However, I want to run it so it creates multiple maps in one efficient, condensed code with a loop instead of a lengthy code where within the code I repeat all the above and just change "AWATER" to the next column in my table and "SavedOutput2.aprx" to "SavedOutput3.aprx" to produced a series of symbolized maps. In short, how can I modify this code so the "sym.renderer.classificationField = 'Sheet4.AWATER' can be modified to allow for a loop where "AWATER" is replaced with a variable that with each loop grabs from the next column in the table. Same goes with the line: p.saveACopy(relpath + r'C:/Users/ggrodzinsky/Documents/ArcGIS/Projects/MyProject8/SavedOutput2.aprx') where instead of "SavedOutput2.aprx" it is "SavedOutput#.aprx" where # is increased by one with each step in the loop, thus making a new file with each mapped column.

Thanks!

How about you use the syntax highlighter so we can read your script easier?

I'm not completely sure of your data structure, but guessing from the code:

Get a list of all your fields in USCounty500k (referencing the datasource not the layer - you could also get the datasource from the layer object if that's an issue) example courtesy of esri help:

fields = arcpy.ListFields("c:/data/municipal.gdb/hospitals")


    ‍‍‍‍

indent your current code from line 19:

for field in fields:

your remaining code

sym.renderer.classificationField = field.name

outpath_folder = r'C:/Users/ggrodzinsky/Documents/ArcGIS/Projects/MyProject8'

p.saveACopy(os.path.join(outpath_folder, field.name))
