In .Net or C++? 1. Yes. Either using a system call to a .py file, or more easily, setting up the .py file as a script tool and executing it through the Geoprocessing framework. You can also open the geoprocessing tool dialog with the GPToolCommandHelper class. 2. I'd recommend 2008, though 2010 should be OK for .Net development. 3. Not off the top of my head. ... View more

Correct, many objects in arcpy/arcgisscripting are not pickleable, so sending them directly across the wire in multiprocessing will not work. There are workarounds, however. If you are sending rows around, you can use tuples with the column values you need, and if you are using geometries you can use the __geo_interface__ attribute to send and the AsShape function to convert back to the geometry object in your function. ...

You'll need to run your script out of process (there's a checkbox in the script tool settings dialog) to get it to work. ArcMap sets up a runtime environment that may not be compatible with the way that multiprocessing bootstraps its runtime. ... View more

Ah, if it's always the same like that then you can do this: tail_to_clip = "_12May11_mm" x = "My_String_Needs_to_be_truncated_12May11_mm" truncated = x.rsplit("_")[:-len(tail_to_clip)] And then just swap out tail_to_clip as needed. Though the option with rstrip is a bit more robust. ... View more

What do other strings of the same form look like? Do you need to truncate to a length or a number of fields? x = "My_String_Needs_to_be_truncated_12May11_mm" truncated = x[:31] or x = "My_String_Needs_to_be_truncated_12May11_mm" truncated = x.rsplit("_")[0] etc. What do other samples of strings you need truncating look like? ...
