Description:
archookdbc 202202.1.2045
archook
Searches the (windows) system for arcgis and makes arcpy available to python (regardless of pythonpath/system path/registry settings). It's typically used when using a python distribution that's wasn't installed by ArcGIS. Ones downloaded direct from Python.org or a conda environment for two examples.
If ArcGIS is not found, an ImportError is thrown.
Use pro=True to target ArcGIS Pro instead of ArcGIS Desktop.
Example usage
ArcGIS Desktop
try:
import archook #The module which locates arcgis
archook.get_arcpy()
import arcpy
except ImportError:
# do whatever you do if arcpy isnt there.
ArcGIS Pro
try:
import archook #The module which locates arcgis
archook.get_arcpy(pro=True)
import arcpy
except ImportError:
# do whatever you do if arcpy isnt there.
Note: You may need to create a conda-meta directory in your Python interpreter's directory (referred to by sys.prefix) if you get an error like the following:
ImportError("arcpy needs to run within an active ArcGIS Conda environment")
