I would add, give us a patch manager that works correctly!  As good as an idea the PatchNotification tool is, the implementation hasn't been thought out completely and quality controlled very well.  I opened an Esri Support case a few week back pointing out all of the bad URLs and information in the JSON file that drives the tool.  To their credit, they have cleaned a bunch of it up, but there are still several other big issues with the tool. ...

I guess I disagree with some of the statements in that post.  The Python 3 distribution isn't "hidden" on Server, they just put it in a different place than the Python 2 distribution.  If the packages don't match between Pro and Server, it is very few packages.  I don't have time to compare at the moment, but the commenter in the other thread should have given some hard numbers instead of just making statements they are different. ...

I tried several stand-alone scripts that basically do the same thing your code does, and all of them work as expected. Given the error message, and the fact I can't reproduce it, make sure you are not copying pasting single and double quotes from other applications because it may be what you think is a single or double quote is not and the Python interpreter is reading your code differently than you expect. ...

Regarding, apparently it does not have all the functionality Can you provide some examples?  We use/publish large numbers of geoprocessing services using Python 3, and we have never run into limitations from Python 2. ... View more

How are you executing the code?  As a standalone script outside of Pro, a script tool in Pro, the interactive Python window in Pro, Jupyter notebook, etc...? ... View more

I just tested a similar code snippet in Pro 2.8.0, and everything worked as expected, i.e., no error and expected results.  What desktop client and version are you using? ... View more

I will start by answering your first two questions: 1.  No, ArcMap is not bundled with ArcGIS Server 2.  No, ArcMap does not need to be installed on the same machine as ArcGIS Server. ... View more

As Dan pointed out earlier, using code highlighting/formatting is helpful.  Also, what line is the error happening on because I don't see where you are using an SQL query at all.  Also, please provide the traceback of the error message along with the the error. ... View more

If you are wanting/needing the "raw" data to do analysis locally, I strongly discourage obtaining the data set from a GIS service.  GIS services are handy for quite a few things, but they make terrible data exchanges for dense data sets, at least in my opinion.  Additionally and specifically for this data set, it is being served up in Web Mercator, which is a garbage projection unless you making/using basic browser-based maps. If you visit BLM National Surface Management Agency Area Polygons - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) - data.doi.gov, you can download the data, which looks to be an 850 MB zip file.  Good luck downloading an 850 MB data set via map service, that will be fun and slow. ...

The issue you are running into has been around for many, many years.  I logged a defect with ArcGIS 10.3.1, and I am quite sure it was around before then.  Esri Development did some hand waiving that they aren't going to address it, which is absurd, but I learned my lesson and switched to using WKT or JSON since the default Geometry constructors are not reliable. The crux of the issue is that Geometry.getPart() will insert a None between the outer and inner rings of a polygon, but the Polygon constructor doesn't deal with them correctly.   >>> import arcpy >>> pg = arcpy.FromWKT('POLYGON((0 0, 10 0, 10 10, 0 10, 0 0),(7 3, 3 3, 3 7, 7 7, 7 3))') >>> # notice the Python None between outer and inner ring >>> pg.getPart(0) <Array [<Point (0.0, 0.0, #, #)>, <Point (0.0, 10.0, #, #)>, <Point (10.0, 10.0, #, #)>, <Point (10.0, 0.0, #, #)>, <Point (0.0, 0.0, #, #)>, None, <Point (7.0, 3.0, #, #)>, <Point (7.0, 7.0, #, #)>, <Point (3.0, 7.0, #, #)>, <Point (3.0, 3.0, #, #)>, <Point (7.0, 3.0, #, #)>]> >>> >>> # Retrieving a part and passing back to Polygon constructor fails. >>> (arcpy.Polygon(pg.getPart(0))).WKT 'MULTIPOLYGON (((0 0, 10.0001220703125 0, 10.0001220703125 10.0001220703125, 0 10.0001220703125, 0 0)))' >>>   If you remove the Python None, the Polygon constructor will recognize the rings correctly   >>> (arcpy.Polygon(arcpy.Array(pnt for pnt in pg.getPart(0) if pnt))).WKT 'MULTIPOLYGON (((0 0, 10.0001220703125 0, 10.0001220703125 10.0001220703125, 0 10.0001220703125, 0 0), (3.0001220703125 7.0001220703125, 7.0001220703125 7.0001220703125, 7.0001220703125 3.0001220703125, 3.0001220703125 3.0001220703125, 3.0001220703125 7.0001220703125)))' >>>   I have run into issues with the default Geometry constructors, as I mentioned above, so I have moved away from them.  Also, the default Geometry constructors are terribly slow.  I wrote a blog post about the performance issue:  https://community.esri.com/t5/gis-blog/biding-time-arcpy-geometry-constructors/ba-p/896304   ...
