Hi, I'm just starting to look at the mapping module and DDP.
I'd like to automate as much of ddp process as possible to make it easier for folks to use this functionality. I'm not seeing many of the options in the help documentation to set ddp values in python.
The first screen of Index Layer, Layer, name Field, Sort order.
Then the options of map extent and scale.
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place? If you could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it
You can not "setup" DDP using arcpy. A map document must be authored and saved with DDP enabled (and set up). Once a map document is DDP enabled, then arcpy.mapping can be used to automate whichever pages you need.

Thanks Jeff, that's what I'd expected but hoped I was wrong.
