ArcPy import acgiscripting

ArcPy import acgiscripting

I created a new environment in Conda and installed Python 3.6.9 along with certain modules including ArcPy in that new environment. Please note that I don't use ArcGIS Pro, I only installed the latest ArcPy so that I can use it in a particular Conda environment. I didn't install ArcGIS Pro first, I just installed the latest the latest arcpy version in an Anaconda environment.  I use ArcGIS, but I don't use its ArcPy because it's limited to Python 2.7. How can I resolve this issue? Now, when the script in Spyder tries to import arcpy, I get the following error:

File "~\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 14, in <module>     import arcgisscripting  ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

There is more to "arcpy" than just arcpy and arcgisscripting.  There are checks to see if you have a version of Pro or arcmap installed along with them.  If you don't, then having the arcgisscripting module or the arcpy folder won't help.

You can install "arcgis" which has some parallel functionality if you don't have access to arcpy.

I would highly recommend that arcpy should also be a standalone library that could work independently of ArcGIS.

You could try posting it as an idea on ArcGIS Ideas‌ to see if it gains any traction.

I do think that while I love having a functioning Python environment at my disposal while doing ArcGIS work, getting it set up right and bridging the 2.x/3.x chasm that ESRI presents you with if you're working in an organization that uses both Desktop and Pro can go to ridiculous lengths.

But if you're using ArcMap and want to use arcpy, you should probably start with a fresh ArcGIS install and let it install 2.7 wherever it needs to be.  That won't be a conda environment. But maybe you can still point your IDE at it. If you're not using Pro, then I don't know if you have access to the arcgis module.

Hi Saad

I don't think there is "arcpy" library without ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro. You need to install one of them to get "license"

Bing Zheng That is the current situation, however, you never know... If the idea catches on, esri may have a new market

I would support the arcpy to be standalone since ArcGIS installation is limited at Window. 

Im trying to install Arcpy to our supercomputer running in CentOS platform but it is not allowing me to use conda to install that.

I am referring to this: anaconda.org/esri/arcpy, where the command is only available for window.

I also have this problem but I have both ArcPro 2.6 and ArcDesktop 10.7 installed and running but still can't get arcpy running in my conda environment.

Hi,

I believe we got similar issue with our environment setup with ArcGisPro 2.8. Please let me know what you did to fix yours. TIA,
