If that's what you want, then a .zip file is not the appropriate distribution mechanism -- workspaces can be more than a directory, such as an .sde file or file geodatabase, and a dataset living in any non-directory workspace would not be included in the zip. In fact, it would be hard to even include .shp files in the directory tree because ListDatasets would return each one without the .shp extension. For what you want, use a Map or Layer package from desktop to consolidate your data. ... View more

I think you are onto somthing, but I need a little help integrating it into the arcpy module.  What would it be like if we know that the dirpath is the arcpy.env.workspace is the current one.  Then we want to make everything in that dirpath zipped up.  Would it make the script shorter somehow? Not really. def zip_directory_to_zipfile(out_zipfile):     out_zip = zipfile.ZipFile(out_zipfile, 'w')     for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in os.walk(arcpy.env.workspace):         for file in filenames:             path_in_zip = os.path.join(os.path.relpath(dirpath,                                                 lib_dir),                                                 file)             if os.path.split(path_in_zip)[0] == ".":                 path_in_zip = os.path.split(path_in_zip)[1]             out_zip.write(os.path.join(dirpath, file), path_in_zip) ...

What exactly would you like to do in ArcObjects that you can't do through arcpy? We're interested in supporting most old VBA workflows through Python, and typically want them to have higher-level, easier to use APIs in Python over the ArcObjects (for instance, the arcpy.mapping module in 10.0). It's not supported (as in we will not provide technical support), but it is possible. See this forum topic or this gis.stackexchange answer. ... View more

Have you gotten arcpy/arcgisscripting to play well with in IronClad? I haven't ever been able to get it in any sort of working state that I'd trust in production. IronPython is great, but if you're going the .Net route you're going to need to use ArcObjects and the .Net SDKs. You get Python syntax to do your coding in but you're in a totally different development environment. ... View more
