I didn't upgraded to 10.1. But the web help system for 10.1 is already online.For your code: you dont need to create additional list of geometries - you have an access directly through SHAPE fiels in search cursor.Here's my full testing script (with extended error cathing part) which is working. When arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True you don't need to care about in_memory feature class - it will be overwritten every time.def main():
try:
import arcpy, sys, traceback, os
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
countiesFC = r"C:\tmp\Test.gdb\Counties"
countyShapeName = arcpy.Describe(countiesFC).ShapeFieldName
countyRows = arcpy.SearchCursor(countiesFC)
polyFC = r"C:\tmp\t.gdb\Polygons"
polyShapeName = arcpy.Describe(polyFC).ShapeFieldName
for countyRow in countyRows:
countyGeom = countyRow.getValue(countyShapeName)
polyRows = arcpy.SearchCursor(polyFC)
for polyRow in polyRows:
polyGeom = polyRow.getValue(polyShapeName)
if countyGeom.contains(polyGeom):
arcpy.Intersect_analysis([countyGeom, polyGeom], "in_memory/Intersection")
intersectionRows = arcpy.SearchCursor("in_memory/Intersection")
for intersectionRow in intersectionRows:
intersectionArea = intersectionRow.Shape.area
print "Overlap Area: " + str(intersectionArea)
del countyRows, countyRow, polyRows
except:
print arcpy.GetMessages()
# Get the traceback object
tb = sys.exc_info()[2]
tbinfo = traceback.format_tb(tb)[0]
# Concatenate information together concerning the error into a
# message string
pymsg = tbinfo + "\n" + str(sys.exc_type)+ ": " + str(sys.exc_value)
# Return python error messages for use with a script tool
arcpy.AddError(pymsg)
# Print Python error messages for use in Python/PythonWin
print pymsg
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
