env() reference

[Anonymous User]

Hi, I'm trying to use Pycharm, as IDE for python, but it seemd that the function arcpy.env is missing from __init_.PY...

I'm using C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.5 interpreter.

When I try to run it inside PyCharm I get :

C:\Python27\ArcGISx6410.5\python.exe U:/Prog/PYScript/Geosoft2ArcGIS.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "U:/Prog/PYScript/Geosoft2ArcGIS.py", line 12, in <module>
import arcpy
File "c:\arcgis\desktop10.7\ArcPy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
from arcpy.geoprocessing import gp
ImportError: cannot import name gp

OK, 

I was able to import them in the Python console.

As I type, as soon as I've finished typing the y... arcpy turns green (error), before hitting enter

[DanPatterson_Retired]

So you can't... or you can... because as soon as you type the 'y' in arcpy you get a green? error?

When you hit enter, does it say something to the effect that arcpy doesn't exist?

can you do a >>> dir(arcpy) without error?  I still suspect that you aren't using the python that was installed with arcmap and/or it can find the path to that site-package distribution.

From Python console:

import arcpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2019.3.2\plugins\python-ce\helpers\pydev\_pydev_bundle\pydev_import_hook.py", line 21, in do_import

File "C:\ArcGIS\Desktop10.7\ArcPy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
from arcpy.geoprocessing import gp
ImportError: cannot import name gp

dir(arcpy)

Yup... it is fouled up.  Per chance did you have pycharm installed before ArcMap?  If so, then it isn't "seeing" and the python that arcmap expects to use.

Try a

import sys

sys.path
['C:\\.... a big list hopefully of environment paths, one of them should bear some inclining of being associated with ArcMap

I don't use it, so if one of the ArcMap'pers would be so kind and replicate the above and post the salient paths for Yves, that would be helpful to him.

(just saying... ArcGIS Pro, conda, even cloned environments  )

I agree with Dan that something must be off with system and/or Python paths.  When I check the sys.path in a PyCharm console on my machine, I get:

PyDev console: starting.

The ones in BOLD are missing from my path... go figure why !!!

You could try adding those paths in the script before importing arcpy, but I honestly don't think that will solve the issue.  At this point, I am not sure why it won't work.

It gives me the same error on startup from the console.

This is PyScripter

Or from this code and "run"

def main():
pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
import arcpy

If arcmap works, can you import arcpy in the Python console from "within" arcmap?

If you can, then you might want to consider removing pycharm completely and try again

Hi,

I solved it.

• I've deleted the C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7, and C:\ArcGIS\Desktop10.7\arcpy.
• uninstall pyscript
• Copy the files from a working computer from those folders C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.7, and C:\ArcGIS\Desktop10.7\arcpy.
• repair ArcGIS
• reinstall pyscript

It's now working !!!!
