In_Memory Featureclass Writing

[MaazaMekuria]

I am not whaat changed between 2.6 and 2.7 of ArcPro and the related Python API but the script that run without fail is crashing miserably at the "in_memory" save location .

rteFCSel = fcrte.save('in_memory','rtesel') # a temporary save of a feature class queried  

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\MyFiles\HWYAP\WebUpdate\UniqueProjectIdsSocrataMap.py", line 585, in <module>
rteFCSel = fcrte.save('in_memory','rtesel')
File "D:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\arcgis\features\feature.py", line 1113, in save
temp_file = os.path.join(temp_dir, "%s.json" % uuid.uuid4().hex)
File "D:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\uuid.py", line 761, in uuid4
return UUID(bytes=os.urandom(16), version=4)
File "D:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\uuid.py", line 153, in __init__
if [hex, bytes, bytes_le, fields, int].count(None) != 4:
File "D:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\uuid.py", line 153, in __init__
if [hex, bytes, bytes_le, fields, int].count(None) != 4:

self.gui.interaction(message, frame)
AttributeError: 'UUID' object has no attribute 'int'

This has never happened before. Would someone please help with this issue.  As a workaround, may have to set a side a directory but wanted to ensure the code to be flexible and write to whatever scratch or temp space available on a computer instead of looking for a specific place or directory locally.

Any help is welcome.

try the 'memory' workspace e.g.

rteFCSel = fcrte.save('memory','rtesel')

Where is the Python API being used?

[MaazaMekuria]

David, thank you, but I am not sure what you mean? The API is installed at D:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3  just as all the other scripts. I am now also confused because the same 'in_memory' setup works on other scripts that run on the same computer and this one is failing with some very cryptic errors  (see attached image below)  . 

[DavidPike]

ah OK.  That's not an API.

Can you share you full code as it's difficult to know what could be going on with an unknown object called ftre.

Sorry, David:

Very late but I was able to make the in_memory buffer file name to be random so if there was some latency problem it would not have a name clash. 

x = random.randrange(0,1000,1)

outFeatseed = "EvTbl"
lrsGeoPTbl = """LRS_{}{}""".format(outFeatseed,x) # DynaSeg result feature table created from LRS points location along routes
outfeatbl = """Rt{}""".format(outFeatseed)
lrsGeoPTbl = """LRS_{}{}""".format(outFeatseed,x) # DynaSeg result feature table created from LRS points location along routes
 geoPtFC = arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management("in_memory", lrsGeoPTbl, geotype,spatial_reference=arcpy.SpatialReference(spref['wkid']))

is a snippet that i used to generate unique buffer files.

Thank you for responding.
