I would prefer to get an event directly from the SketchViewModel. Something like "draw-complete" but for "draw-create." It looks like the on() method will let you register an event-handler but I'm not sure how to use it. Wish there were some samples or even a list of valid events! ... View more

What are you using to highlight the feature/graphic? I don't see that in your code. ... View more

Here's what I use edit = arcpy.da.Editor(workspace) try:     edit.startEditing(multiuser_mode=True)     edit.startOperation()     with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(in_table, field_names) as cursor:         #         # do stuff         #     edit.stopOperation()     edit.stopEditing(save_changes=True) except:     # Attempt to clean up edit session     try:         edit.abortOperation()         print "operation aborted in except"         edit.stopEditing(save_changes=False)         print "edit stopped in except"     except Exception as otherErr:         # Handle unexpected error when stopping edit         print otherErr         pass     # Re-raise original exception     raise finally:     del edit‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ You should be able to use Editor in a with statement to do all the cleanup automatically but I can never get it to work on versioned data. ...

Thanks, I also went looking at your other NumPy snippets #6 blog post. ... View more

Sorry Dan, I don't quite follow. So if I have a structured NumPy array like this: [     ("one", "first"),     ("two", None),     ("three", "third"),     (None, "fourth") ]‍‍‍‍‍‍ and I specify the structured NumPy array field data types all as '|S25', how can I ensure that the ArcGIS table that is created will have null values instead of a string 'None'? ...

On line 10, you've got the wrong syntax for get(). Should be: valueHub = hubDict.get(hub)‍‍ But since you are iterating over the keys in the dictionary (as hub), you know the key exists so you don't need to use get() ... View more

Typically, no, it does not interfere. However, it can depend on how you're creating your query expression. Assuming my example valueDict above: for i in valueDict:     expression = "NAME = '{}'".format(valueDict[i])     print expression‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Output: NAME = 'Some Name' NAME = 'Another Name' NAME = 'Name Example' NAME = 'And Another‍‍‍‍'‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This makes perfectly valid SQL. However, If you do something like this: names = tuple(valueDict.values()) expression = "NAME in{}".format(names) print expression‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Output: NAME in(u'Some Name', u'Another Name', u'Name Example', u'And Another')‍‍‍ It will keep the u designation and it won't be valid SQL. You would have to do something like: names = tuple(str(i) for i in valueDict.values()) expression = "NAME in{}".format(names) print expression‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Output: NAME in('Some Name', 'Another Name', 'Name Example', 'And Another')‍‍‍ But if you have exactly one name record in the dictionary, a single item tuple still has a comma at the end: NAME in('Some Name',)‍‍‍‍ Which is not valid SQL. The best would be something like: names = ",".join("'{}'".format(i) for i in valueDict.values()) expression = "NAME in({})".format(names) print expression‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Output: NAME in('Some Name','Another Name','Name Example','And Another')‍‍‍ EDIT: Or, you could get rid of the u designation by converting row[0] to a plain string when you create the dictionary: valueDict = {} with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(sourceFC, ["NAME"]) as cursor:     for enum, row in enumerate(cursor):         valueDict[enum] = str(row[0])‍‍‍‍ ...

Indeed. The 'u' in front of the string values means the string has been represented as unicode. Letters before strings here are called "String Encoding declarations". Unicode is a way to represent more characters than normal ascii can manage. python - What does the 'u' symbol mean in front of string values? - Stack Overflow  ... View more
