Hello.  Can anyone tell me where I can find information on what the symbols mean, in the auto fill box, when typing commands in the Python Interpreter window? The commands in blue are default python keywords, which are built-in constructs within the language. Commands in purple are based on the environment: modules, variables and functions that are currently defined in the current session. And finally yellow is used to denote layers that are being pulled in from the current map. cheers, Shaun ... View more

Hello, I see, that makes good sense. The training materials you're using are for ArcGIS 9.3, and the toolbar has been integrated into the rest of the geoprocessing environment in a more consistent way at ArcGIS 10. For those particular options, you'll want Geoprocessing > Environments..., which allows you to control the options in that dialog and others. This thread includes details on how to add back a 9.3 style Spatial Analyst menu, and this blog post includes some details on the change. Best wishes, Shaun ... View more

I've create an example, example-toolbox.pyt that hopefully clarifies (also as a Github Gist😞 import arcpy class Toolbox(object):     def __init__(self):         self.label = u'Example_Toolbox'         self.alias = ''         self.tools = [FirstTool, SecondTool, ThirdTool] class FirstTool(object):     def __init__(self):         self.label = u'First Tool'         self.description = u''         self.canRunInBackground = False         self.category = "Import"     def getParameterInfo(self):         return     def execute(self, parameters, messages):         pass class SecondTool(object):     def __init__(self):         self.label = u'Second Tool'         self.description = u''         self.canRunInBackground = False         self.category = "Export"     def getParameterInfo(self):         return     def execute(self, parameters, messages):         pass class ThirdTool(object):     def __init__(self):         self.label = u'Third Tool'         self.description = u''         self.canRunInBackground = False         self.category = "Export"     def getParameterInfo(self):         return     def execute(self, parameters, messages):         pass You'll then have two categories within your toolbox: Export and Import, Import will contain one item and Export will contain two. cheers, Shaun ...
