@Chris -- because of that last, millions-of-records result. There's a certain amount of time required to set up/tear down a GP tool (which is what's causing the first two results in your benchmarks to look the way they do), but a for loop in a core GP tool looping over rows in its native ArcObjects/C++ implementation will be orders of magnitude faster than that of a for loop in Python, not to mention GetCount can do other tricks that the Python code isn't doing like seeing if there is a selection set on the table or layer, and if so just asking for the length of the list of selected records without needing to open a cursor on the actual data. ...

No, it does not mean there is a preference for one or the other. They have different capabilities and one or the other should be used based on how much fine-grained control you need. The lack of a tech session is simply because there is already plenty of documentation online for making Python Add-Ins and the process for making one should be pretty straightforward. ... View more

In a Python Add-In, calling the deactivate() method WILL NOT deactivate the add-in, only the user can. deactivate() is called to notify the tool class when the user has selected another tool (such as pan, zoom, etc) in the application as a triggered event. ... View more

I'm not seeing any sort of crash, just a failure when calling the TableToTable Tool: >>> Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\...\AssemblyCache\{7E4CFC40-D898-41B3-8BBB-0B634DC2B183}\EsriAddin_addin.py", line 32, in onClick     arcpy.TableToTable_conversion(NullServiceAddresses, Null_Services, "NullServiceAddresses.dbf", "", "ANCILLARYR \"ANCILLARYR\" true true false 2 Short 0 4 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,ANCILLARYROLE,-1,-1;ENABLED \"ENABLED\" true true true 2 Short 0 4 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,ENABLED,-1,-1;WSA \"WSA\" true true false 3 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,WSA,-1,-1;SYNERGEN_I \"SYNERGEN_ID\" true true false 17 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,SYNERGEN_ID,-1,-1;LIFECYCLES \"LifecycleStatus\" true true false 4 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,LIFECYCLESTATUS,-1,-1;LASTEDITOR \"LASTEDITOR\" true true false 10 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,LASTEDITOR,-1,-1;LASTEDITDA \"LASTEDITDA\" true true false 36 Date 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,LASTEDITDATE,-1,-1;LASTEDITSO \"LastEditSource\" true true false 4 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,LASTEDITSOURCE,-1,-1;DOCUMENTNU \"DOCUMENTNU\" true true false 255 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,DOCUMENTNUMBER,-1,-1;INSTALLYEA \"INSTALLYEAR\" true true false 2 Short 0 4 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,INSTALLYEAR,-1,-1;OWNERSHIP \"Ownership\" true true false 4 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,OWNERSHIP,-1,-1;STREETDIR \"STREETDIR\" true true false 3 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,STREETDIR,-1,-1;STREETNO \"STREETNO\" true true false 15 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,STREETNO,-1,-1;STREETNAME \"STREETNAME\" true true false 50 Text 0 0 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,STREETNAME,-1,-1;SERVICESUB \"ServiceSubtype\" true true false 4 Long 0 5 ,First,#,\\ADMIN.PotableNetwork\\ADMIN.Service,SERVICESUBTYPE,-1,-1", "")   File "c:\arcgis\arcpy\arcpy\conversion.py", line 2018, in TableToTable     raise e ExecuteError: Failed to execute.
