New to Python need on advice on this script

[Valentina Boycheva]

Jim, 

 

In Python 2.5 under ArcMap 9.3 domains can be only listed. To get to the
domain values, they need to be converted to tables. Also, the default
value cannot be obtained from the existing GP API. Very annoying! The
workaround is to use VBA ArcObjects or connect to the database directly,
if possible, and extract the information from the GDB. This latter will
work for PGDB, not sure about FGDB.

 

Regards,

Valentina Boycheva

Subject: New to Python need on advice on this script

 

Hello all - I'm new to the world of Python as I am a GIS guy who would
like to broaden his horizons. I have a question about a script that
we've been working on: The purpose of the code is to Syncronize SDE
DropBox with Regulatory Project working files. 

 

I am looking for where the script dumps the domain list to a table and
loops through the table? Is It necessary? Seems like you should be able
to simply loop through the domain list. I was just trying to see if
there was a more straitforward way. Thanks

The script is as follows:

 

# Create the Geoprocessor
import sys, string, os, arcgisscripting, shutil, time
gp = arcgisscripting.create()

# Jim V testing
# Allow output to overwrite
gp.OverwriteOutput = 1

gp.AddToolbox("C://Program Files//ArcGIS//ArcToolbox//Toolboxes//Data
Management Tools.tbx")

#---create a logging file named "YYYYMMDD HH_MM_QualityControlLog.txt" 
theTime = time.strftime('%Y%m%d %H_%M')
#logfilename = "H:\\Development\\Python\\" + theTime +
"_PODsQAQCLog.txt"
logfilename =
"L:\\SharedData\\Denver\\Regulatory\\GIS\\Powder_River_Basin\\Pipeline\\
QAQC_Scripts\\" + theTime + "_PODsQAQCLog.txt"
log = open(logfilename,'w')
log.write(time.ctime() + "\n")
print time.ctime()

THE_WORKSPACE =
os.path.normpath("L:/SharedData/Denver/Regulatory/GIS/Powder_River_Basin
") + "\\"  #REAL MODE LINE
#THE_WORKSPACE = os.path.normpath("H:/Development/testdata") + "\\"
#TEST MODE LINE
log.write("THE_WORKSPACE IS " + THE_WORKSPACE + "\n")
print "THE_WORKSPACE IS " + THE_WORKSPACE

P_CODE = "P_CODE"

#Create table of valid P_CODEs and convert to List
gp.DomainToTable_management(r"L:\SharedData\Denver\Regulatory\GIS\Powder

searchRows =
