Hi everyone,
I've searched the forums and the internet for an answer to this, but unfortunately I've had no luck.
I'm running Arc 10.1 sp1
Regardless of whether I use Idle, pythonwin, pyscripter or the built in python editor window in Arc, I get the following error when I try to import arcpy
>>> import arcpy
Runtime error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: cannot import name datetime_data
The python installation is not a standalone one, it is the one installed when installing Arc,
so in the python27 folder within the C drive, there is only 1 folder, this is ArcGIS10.1.
Therefore I am unable to carry out the fix provided by Kimo in post #2 here

I've also looked at the contents of the Desktop10.1.pth file and the file paths seem correct ( as specified in the Tip at the bottom of this page http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//002z00000008000000 )
I have 3 lines in this file, as below:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy
C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\ArcToolbox\Scripts
Any ideas what I can do next to try and get arcpy to be recognised?
Many thanks
Dan

It is just encountering a hitch in the git-along.
(ImportError: cannot import name datetime_data)
If removeing and reinstalling the python provided with arc does not fix it,
it sounds like a Support Call is in order....
