I am trying to determine where Python 3.4 should be installed with ArcGIS Pro as the location I found it to be in seems to be incorrect as it is installed in a location for a specific user as opposed to a general location.
When I installed ArcGIS Pro 1.4 on a Windows 10 64-bit machine, Python 3.4 was installed to c:\Users\"User Name"\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python which does not appear correct compared to the following GeoNet thread:
https://community.esri.com/message/434467?commentID=434467#comment-434467
In this thread it seems that Python should be installed to:
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS Pro\bin
In comparison ArcGIS for Desktop installed Python to:
C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.3
Any feedback on this question is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Michael, Please see this help link, hopefully it'll clear up your questions: Python, conda, and ArcGIS Pro—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop
In short, at 1.3/1.4 Python is handled for you with Conda.
Kevin:
Your link makes me think the install is corrupt as the documentation shows it should be installed to:
c:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python
but in my original post I stated that for me python was installed to:
c:\Users\"User Name"\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python
Could this difference have anything to do with installing ArcGIS Pro on a virtual desktop?
Michael,
I've never experienced the software installing to that directory.
I wonder if it has something to do with being an administrator (or not) or maybe a installing for a user vs. installing for all users? See the first note here about a reg key for "per user" : Download and install—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
