setting data driven pages with python

[jamesborris]

Is there a way to enable and run data driven pages using python? I would like to run datadriven pages on a shape and select the page name, extent, round to the nearest.. and all those properties using python script. Please let me know how if its possible. Thanks

check the online help,

you can start at the top of the arcpy mapping tree and follow it down for information on classes etc

You cannot activate DDP from Python, you can only use DDP-enabled maps.For anything dynamic you might want to think about using an MXD set up for Data Driven Pages already, then use Layer.replaceDataSource to swap out the data for your new feature class. The only issue here is your field names will still need to all be the same.
