AttributeError: <unprintable AttributeError object> when running on ArcGIS10

[hanyhassaballa]

i have installed ArcGIS 10, and i am getting this error:
AttributeError: <unprintable AttributeError object>

when i am trying to run python script that were develop in ArcGIS 9.3, what could be the problem.

My fault, I'm used to working in more complex environments.  Take out the loggers and use print statements to send the errors to the screen:

    try:
        print("Place code here")

    except arcpy.ExecuteError:
        Errors = "TRUE"
        print("An error occurred during geoprocessing:")
        print(arcpy.GetMessages(2))
    except Exception as ErrorDesc:
        Errors = "TRUE"
        print("An unknown error occurred:")
        print(ErrorDesc.message)

ok, that is becoming clrearer now...
so it seems that it doesn't find the toolbox right?
but I am importing it...don't really know what I can do...I was wondering if the space in the nam eof the toolbox could cause this to happen.

An unknown error occurred:
F:\front\trash\test.py:41: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6
  logger.error(ErrorDesc.message)
Object: Tool or environment <????????????????????> not found

I can't imagine the space being a problem, but it's worth trying.  I would think if the tool truly didn't exist, it would have failed at the top while you were trying to import it.

Greetings...was there a fix to this?

I get the following...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(polygon, ShapeFile_prj)
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 1943, in CopyFeatures
    raise e
AttributeError: <unprintable AttributeError object>

where

>>> polygon
<Polygon object at 0xf34f550[0x347d9e0]>
>>> ShapeFile_prj
'F:\\vector\\Biboohra_Koah\\25cm\\TPE0_330000_8135000_1k_cont.shp'
>>> 

My full script is attached. This should work on any directory with ESRI readable vector files.

best,

I have seen this AttributeError when there are two toolboxes active with the same alias. In this situation, ArcGIS has trouble accessing the correct tool because of the alias conflict.

Right mouse click on the toolbox, select properties and add an alias on the General tab, solved this problem for me.
