Python Script: a zip file (“TEST.gbd.zip”) containing a File Geodatabase with feature classes to download over FTP?
Hi Alexis, I received the messages you sent via DM, but DM makes it a bit hard to know if there are any spacing errors in your code. That is why posting the code using the syntax highlighter in geonet is a bit cleaner. I tried to repair but still have a few errors where there were # comments and it is hard to tell if the comment includes additional lines or not. For example, around line 205, a few lines down from the "for shapefiles in shpList", there are some nested try: statements with full comments under each of the tries. I'm assuming they not supposed to be all comments, but hard to tell for sure.
So. I'm not sure exactly what you are having problems with. I took a look at the link to the zipfile script for extracting Unzip zip files in folders and subfolders with python - Stack Overflow
and modified it to extranct from one of my .zip files that contains a fgdb
import zipfile, fnmatch, os
rootPath = r"c:\___temp"
pattern = "*.zip"
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(rootPath):
for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, pattern):
print(os.path.join(root, filename))
zipfile.ZipFile(os.path.join(root, filename)).extractall(os.path.join(root, os.path.splitext(filename)[0]))and it extracted everything from the file GDB just fine. Try doing a test run with a copy of the .zip file in a temp folder to see if it extracts with the above code. You should only need to change the rootPath to the new foldername, and then if you option ArcCatalog, you should be able to copy/paste the code in the Python window. That way you should be able to see what is in the .zip file.
However, the snapshot you sent looks to be an SDE GDB dataset, not a file GDB. (hope it is ok I included it here)
So it your issue not being able to get the FTP (I may not be able to help with that), extract the data from the .zip (See above) or you trying to get it into the SDE database (different issue)? You said you are new to Python and someone else wrote the script. Did it work for them? Have you modified it some already? Keep in mind that python is very picky about indentation and that controls much of the processing flow.
I would recommend posting your code using https://community.esri.com/people/curtvprice/blog/2014/09/25/posting-code-blocks-in-the-new-geonet?s... so it retains the spacing. Leave out any user/pass credentials and/or rename any proprietary data. That will allow others to come take a look, and so I am not guessing on the indentation.
Hope this will help get things started.
