FYI, I did have a respectable early stage Geonet profile going, but had to abandon that profile in switch over to this account. I am good with Python and am experienced in ArcMap (not yet Pro - thinking I should).
An major ESRI bug that I'm sick of working around: Why does the Python console basically stop working randomly? For instance, I start saving file paths, variables, mxd objects and running simple arcpy functions like:
arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass(fp_in, fp_out, feat_name)
And nothing happens. Python doesn't think, nothing processes, it just offers up a new line in the interpreter. WHY!!! I have to restart the program, warm up all my directories again, all so I get arcpy related stuff to function for another hour or number of function calls and then it stops working again.
Another example in the same vein
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
mxd
<MapDocument object at 0x1b6c6c30[0x1bc4fb40]>
RUNTIME ERROR
In both instances, the FeatureClassTo... and arcpy.mapping... it will work initially and for a bit. And then just stop. Like riding a bike and then the chain comes off the sprocket.
It's killing my productivity and forcing me to undesirable GUI solutions or scripting for little stuff that should be in the console.
Any help, please!?
