Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me a problem I can't figure out. Below is my code. I keep getting a RuntimeError: cannot open 'file I'm writing to' using a arcpy.da.InsertCursor. It keeps locking for some reason, I do not have arc open when running (running it from PyCharm), and it will write to the file thousands of times... I am writing line segments to a feature class and it will do it thousands of times, but then seemingly randomly say it can't access it. I have run it many times and it get's locked up in different places each time. The only info I can find is that people need to close their cursors, but all my cursors (both search and insert cursors) are closed after each use. I'm not sure what else to do. Any ideas? Description of what code is trying to do below if that is helpful at all as well as a screen shot of the error.

This is the Error I get, but this changes depending on the run. Sometimes it's in in insertCursor1 sometimes in insertCursor2 depending on how far it get's that run.

Code description: Basically I'm running through a point table, looking at variables in the first row, and some in the next row and if those parameters meet my requirements, I draw a line to connect the points and save that to a featureclass I created along with some variables I need attached to those line segments. I run through two searchCursors because of how I need to access the first and second line, it skips one iteration, (basically the first one compares points 1&2, 3&4, etc.) so I run it through a second searchCursor accessing the opposites (comparing 2&3, 4&5, etc.). It's somehow locking the file I'm trying to write to in the insertCursor, but it does so randomly and I don't know why or how to fix it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
