At the bottom of your add-in .py file you can pre-initialize them like this: button1 = ButtonClass() # Assuming you have a button named button1 with class ButtonClass This usually works fine. ... View more

So it appears as though the Calc class does not exist. What does dir(YourAddinIn_addin) tell you? Can you run the .py file on its own from python.exe without syntax errors? ... View more

Check the python prompt, type YourAddIn_addin. (where the module name is the same as the filename without the .py extension) and see if there is auto-complete. Is the button1 variable there? See if you can create it yourself, if you can make a YourAddinIn_addin.Calc() or if it throws an exception. ... View more

Please paste EVERYTHING that appears in the Python window, not just the error type. Attached is a simple add-in that does what yours does, and it seems to work fine. I suggest you re-make your addin's .py file from the wizard and try again. ... View more

If you want to refer to rows as lists like that, you likely want to be using arcpy.da.UpdateCursor, not arcpy.UpdateCursor. ... View more

You'll notice a bunch of Microsoft.VC* folders in <ArcGIS Install>\bin\. That has the various DLLs that ArcGIS uses. You can use one of many methods to determine their versions, set those versions as your dependencies, and then go back to embedding the manifest. Though, based on how you're describing the symptoms, it may be something else at play here. ... View more

Commenting out those specific lines will not prevent the manifest from being created, only bypass the part where it embeds it in the PYD. Have you tried 1. NOT packaging those DLLs with your library, and then 2. making sure the <PYTHON>\Lib\site-packages\<yourlib> is completely cleared out of all files before rebuilding and testing? ... View more

ArcGIS uses a different version of the msvc libraries than what you're including, so once they try to load there's a version conflict when it tries to import your local ones. I'd recommend getting rid of the manifest altogether. If you're using a setup.py to build, the thing I do is patch \PythonInstall\Lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py and locate the following lines:             # embed the manifest             # XXX - this is somewhat fragile - if mt.exe fails, distutils             # will still consider the DLL up-to-date, but it will not have a             # manifest.  Maybe we should link to a temp file?  OTOH, that             # implies a build environment error that shouldn't go undetected.             mfinfo = self.manifest_get_embed_info(target_desc, ld_args)             if mfinfo is not None:                 mffilename, mfid = mfinfo                 out_arg = '-outputresource:%s;%s' % (output_filename, mfid)                 try:                     self.spawn(['mt.exe', '-nologo', '-manifest',                                 mffilename, out_arg])                 except DistutilsExecError, msg:                     raise LinkError(msg) And just comment them all out. ...
