Summary
In this chapter, you have learned about arcpy.Walk
and cursors in the Data Access module. You have seen how the Data Access module allows you to access and modify your data. By using the arcpy.Walk
module in the Data Access module, you are able to walk through directories and sub-directories and find geospatial data that the os.walk
module would miss.
This allows you to extract and transfer data programmatically. You explored how to use data dictionaries as lookup tables and applied that in multiple examples. Finally, you used the search, update, and insert cursors to find data, update it, and insert new data.
In the next chapter, you will use the ArcGIS API for Python to publish, organize, and manage access to data on your ArcGIS Online account.
