Summary
In this chapter, we introduced ArcPy and showed you how to verify a proper install of ArcPy. A shortcut to the version of IDLE that connects to ArcPy for ArcGIS Pro was created and used to write Python code in both the IDLE Shell and in a standalone script file. You learned how to use the ArcGIS Pro Python window for listing data, and the wildcard parameter to filter lists. The data returned to the list was extracted and used for geoprocessing analysis. Raster analysis was completed using the Spatial Analysis module.
In the next chapter, you will be introduced to the ArcGIS API for Python for connecting ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS Notebooks will also be introduced as a way to write and store Python code.
