Hello,

here the code for GCS

import arcpy

desc = arcpy.Describe(r"C:\DemoData\PYTH_10_2\Sharing_scripts\World\Cities.shp")

code =  desc.spatialReference.GCSCode

for PCS take the property desc.spatialReference.PCSCode

Let's have a look here too:

ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

Kind regards,

Thomas

I used a slight variant of the above approach

import arcpy
descObj = arcpy.Describe("myLayer")
SRef = descObj.spatialReference
print SRef.factoryCode
