Update Attributes based on values in another shapefile

[SteveBruce]

I have one point shapefile (POINTS) and one polygon shapefile (POLYS).  i would like to create a routine that goes through each record in the polygon shapefile, selects all the points contained by that polygon, and the populates an attribute of each point (ATTR1), with an attribute value from the polygon dataset (ATTR2) from the polygon that contains those points.

Fair question 🙂

Sorry, problem is that i have limited python experience and am not really sure where to start. Wondering if there's. some sample code out there that will do this.  I've tried the arcgis help but no luck there. Thanks

That is essentially a spatial join- have you tried that?
