Is anyone else having trouble of importing arcgis.gis.server module?

SpencerHan1

Following the 1.3 documentation, there is a arcgis.gis.server submodule nested under arcgis.gis.

However when I try use it, I get an error saying "`arcgis.gis` has no attribute `server`". Souce code as shown below.

>>> import arcgis

>>> arcgis.gis.server.Server(args)

And as suggested in this post, I tried with importing arcgis.gis. But same error occured.

>>> from arcgis importgis

>>> gis.server.Server(args)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has to do with Esri's goofy imports within the arcgis modules. Try:

<SPAN class="keyword token">from</SPAN> arcgis<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>gis <SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> server
server<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Server<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Thanks, seems to be working.

Spencer and Joshua,

Thank you for your comment/reply on using the Server class.

Here is the best way to access your server:

gis = GIS(url="https://mysite.com/portal", username='*****')
servers = gis.admin.servers.list()

Andrew, the OP never stated whether the desired connection was to a federated or unfederated server, my guess is the latter.

What's new in version 1.3 | ArcGIS for Developers states:

What's new in version 1.3
New
Added support for unfederated ArcGIS Server instances from the arcgis.gis.server module

I can't speak for others, but reading that strongly implies to me that one should use arcgis.gis.server when connecting to an unfederated GIS server. Furthermore, the documentation for arcgis.gis module — arcgis 1.4.0 documentation doesn't mention anything about connecting to an unfederated GIS server. I have discovered, through trial and error, that I can use the unfederated server's administrator REST endpoint (/arcgis/admin) to connect using the GIS class.

If the ArcGIS API for Python team wants users to use GIS as the starting point, it would be helpful to clarify and/or expand the documentation to point users in that direction.

Hi bixb0012

Have you had any luck accessing services this way? Can you post an example? Getting access to an unfederated server is a bewildering process with the ArcGIS Python API.
