Alright I think I understand now. How is your list of neighbours stored in the field? String of IDs? If you could post an example of the field you are trying to access that may help. ... View more

I'm a little confused as to what you are trying to accomplish exactly. Are you trying to access the geometry component of the row? Or just modify the attribute values? This link should give you all you need to access the geometry of the row features. http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Reading_geometries/002z0000001t000000/ If you just want attributes of the row, this will get you their values rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(layer) for row in rows:     for field in fields:         print row.getValue(field.name) ...

I would guess you need more than just the primary table referenced for your locator. Check out the error http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/000039_Not_enough_reference_data_tables_for_this_style/00vp00000009000039/ And the tool syntax for adding other tables http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002600000004000000.htm Specific info on the alternate table http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/The_alternate_name_table/002500000043000000/ ...

I think you mean the quotation marks? Your line should look like this arcpy.CreateAddressLocator_geocoding("US Address - Street Name", "AllRoadsParish" + fip +"'Primary Table'", "'Feature ID' OBJECTID VISIBLE NONE;'Prefix Direction' PREFIX VISIBLE NONE;'Prefix Type' <None> VISIBLE NONE;'*Street Name' NAME VISIBLE NONE;'Suffix Type' Street_Cat VISIBLE NONE;'Suffix Direction' SUFFIX VISIBLE NONE;'Left City or Place' <None> VISIBLE NONE;'Right City or Place' <None> VISIBLE NONE;'Left ZIP Code' ZIPL VISIBLE NONE;'Right ZIP Code' ZIPR VISIBLE NONE;'Left State' STATE VISIBLE NONE;'Right State' STATE VISIBLE NONE;'Left Additional Field' Parish_FIP VISIBLE NONE;'Right Additional Field' Parish_FIP VISIBLE NONE", Output_Address_Locator, "") ...

If your cursor is empty, it will never step in. Nothing in the loop for row in rows: will execute because there is no row in rows, if you follow. So I tested your code and came back with 4 rows, is that right? i am confused, I thought you wanted to test if the cursor object was empty? ... View more

You need to copy and paste the exact indentation you are using, that is probably where your error is. ... View more

I am sure there is a more elegant way, but you could do something simple like... checkvar = "cursor empty" rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc, query) for row in rows:     if checkvar == "cursor empty":         checkvar = "cursor full" print checkvar Here's something probably better, early morning brain not working yet. row = None rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc, query) for row in rows:     #cursor things if not row:     print "cursor was empty" ...

Your code gives me a syntax error so it definitely won't run if that is what you are using. This should be your where-clause I believe. "FIPS_PARIS = '" + fip + "'" ... View more

What is the particular error you are getting? Or does it run through without error and just not make any changes to the mxd? Also, posting your code with code blocks will make it easier for us to help. ... View more

Did you change the indentation as my code shows as well? ... View more
