I want to convert csv files to shapefile using arcpy. I've got hundreds of csvs (with multiple fields) that i need to convert. There are two different lat long columns(normal lat long and delayed lat long) within the csv files and i want to use delayed lat long values. Trying to do this in arcpy but haven't been successful so far.
Thanks James....I am trying using the example in link you gave, but for some reason i am getting parsing error. I initially tried by substituting .dbf with .csv, but maybe some more tweaking needs be done.
Oh, this is my bad. It has been a while since I implemented this, but I incorporated a 3rd party Python library to setup a table with a csv source -- this maybe a bit much for your requirements. How about if you invoke Table To Table to bring in the csv into a .gdb (like in your scratch workspace or something), then use that table in the MakeXYEventLayer method.
