We have all been there. Either you look through the help (which is great, don't get me wrong), open up Pro and do the scrolly thing in ArcToolbox or....

There it is!!!

Good old AddXY, I knew it was there.

Now where is it? and what imports are used?

get_func(man.AddXY, line_nums=True, output=False)

File path: ... C:\arc_pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\management.py

4149          Adds the fields POINT_X and POINT_Y to the point input features and
4150          calculates their values. It also appends the POINT_Z and POINT_M
4151          fields if the input features are Z- and M-enabled.

Is GPError a method or a class?

import ConversionUtils as CU

Bingo!

Code in npg_utils.py

or more generally in NumPy and Geometry or NumPy and Geometry on github.io

So I just try to remember these the next time I am lazy
