Hi all:

I am a Python newbie and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction for the following:

1) Create a for loop
2) Create a definition query or select by attributes on a table
3) Join the table with the selected attributes to a feature class
4) Copy the features and the joined attributes from the feature class in #3 to a new feature class.

Thanks!
Courtney

The online and built in documentation contain a wealth of information. A good place to start is to run through one iteration using the tools manually to get an idea of how you can go about it.

Once you've done that, this link would be a good place to get ball rolling in the right direction.
