Here is a program that worked well six months ago doing the same thing but refuses to do so now and returns the error messages. Any advice would be appreciated.
import arcpy, os, glob, shutil, fnmatch from arcpy import env from arcpy.sa import * import time start_time = time.time() arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial") env.overwriteOutput = True # Set environment arcpy.env.workspace = "G:/GIS Data/FAO GAEZ/low irrigation" arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace="G:/GIS Data/scratch" # Set local variables # folder containing only input rasters and nothing else inws = "G:/GIS Data/FAO GAEZ/low irrigation" outws="G:/GIS Data/FAO GAEZ/rasters/World/low_irrigation" rasters=[] for root, dirs, files in os.walk(inws): for subdir in dirs: print subdir directory=outws+"/"+subdir print directory outRaster=directory+"/"+"data" print outRaster asciiname=root+"/"+subdir+"/data.asc" print asciiname if not os.path.exists(directory): os.makedirs(directory) arcpy.ASCIIToRaster_conversion(asciiname,outRaster) print "Done"
Here are the results. I should note that the program is creating the directory successfully. Line 37 refers to the arcpy.ASCIIToRaster...command.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Can you try saving to a directory that contains no spaces, just to rule that out?

line numbers and formatting /blogs/dan_patterson/2016/08/14/script-formatting
for future reference
And I would recommend saving to *.tif raster format, in a folder. tifs behave better than the old esri grid format since they have fewer restrictions on how they are named
Thanks for your replies. It was definitely the long directory name with spaces. I really need to address that.
Dan, thanks for directing me to those instructions as well.
