Generate Python script from existing settings?

[Anonymous User]

Hello!  Is there a way to take existing symbology/labeling settings and generate analagous python script?

To edit the symbology and labels? No beyond applying an already created .lyr arcpy doesnt interact with the labeling or symbology engines. You can make a .lyr that contains all the symbols and labels you want and then do arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer() which will apply the .lyr to a layer object in a dataframe.
