Hi Dan, I have a separate post on that... Using Python List Comprehensions May have to rethink the python snippets and move things over to the python snippets place.. ... View more

I haven't had any negative experience with them either and truly believe that a day without list comprehensions is a day not lived (or coded actually)... ... View more

What I would like to know is... how did you end up with a dataset like this? Another relevant question is; do the polygons that overlay have the same geometry (shape) or can they partially overlay? That would make it a lot more difficult. ... View more

Yep, I have heard that, but then at least delete the line: del sale, cursor Since that is not necessary when using a with statement... At least that's what they say as well. ... View more

small suggestion... replace: #Create empty set   salesSet = set()   with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(table, ["Sales"]) as cursor:       for sale, in cursor:           #Add sales to set           salesSet.add(sale) del sale, cursor for this: salesSet = set([r[0] for r in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(table, ["Sales"])]) ...

Hi Sean, To create a rectangle feature: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) To split a polygon (rectangle): ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) General information on editing: ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) Kind regards, Xander ... View more

Hi Allison, Are the layer files you added to ArcMap referencing map services? In that case you cannot use them for analysis. Kind regards, Xander ... View more

A rather manual way could be to create a rectangle and to split it using the contourline. Assign proper codes to both polygons that result and intersect them with the points. That way they you will obtain information to which side of the contourline they are located. In case you prefer coding the problem, there is a method in the arcpy.Polyline() object called queryPointAndDistance. ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2) Finds the point on the polyline nearest to the in_point and the distance between those points. Also returns information about the side of the line the in_point is on as well as the distance along the line where the nearest point occurs. Kind regards, Xander ... View more
