How to solve the error:out of memory

[HuaShang]

I want to use the clip function in python, the code is as follow:

import os

from multiprocessing import Pool

import arcpy

from arcpy import env

def data_clip(shp):

    env.workspace = r"F:/GCM_CMIP5/FGOALS-g2(LASG-CESS)/mrro/ShpFile/f"

    clip_features = "D:/Research/boundry.shp"

    pre, suf = os.path.splitext(shp)

    new = pre + "_china" + suf

    in_mem = os.path.join("in_memory", pre)

    out_feature_class = os.path.join("F:/GCM_CMIP5/FGOALS-g2(LASG-CESS)/mrro/ChinaShpFile", new)

    arcpy.Clip_analysis(shp, clip_features, in_mem)

    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(in_mem, out_feature_class)

    arcpy.DeleteFeatures_management(in_mem)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    env.overwriteOutput = True

    env.workspace = r"F:/GCM_CMIP5/FGOALS-g2(LASG-CESS)/mrro/ShpFile/f"

    p = Pool(7)

    fcs = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

    p.map(data_clip, fcs)

    print('Clip finish!')

But I got the "out of memory" error.

If anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for help! Do I need to add this code before my code directly? I am a beginner, so it looks so complex for me, but I will try this! Thanks!

[XanderBakker]

Hi Hua Shang , I think that my code is not the first option you should consider. I would first remove the multi processing and the in_memory workspace. The Dice tool is used to subdivide features with a lot of vertices, which may produce problems when you clip the features.

The code I attached to this thread has been used for a toolbox and reads the input featureclass, name and workspace for the output featureclass and the maximum number of points a feature may have (sorry for the Spanish interface):

It will divide polylines in parts (chunks) if a feature has more the maximum given number of vertices.

Problem resolved? or still ongoing?

[HuaShang]

Thanks for help. But still got the problem. I'm wondering if it is not the multiprocess problem. I described my question more detail here,Out of memory error I'm really appreciate if I could get your help.
