Does ArcGIS 10 have a Geoprocessor Programming Model by using Arcpy?
is it possible to use ArcGIS 9.3 Geoprocessor Programming Model within ArcGIS 10?

Best Answer

There is no version 10 Geoprocessor Programming Model. Some of 9.3's is applicable, but your best source is the online help for ArcPy and you will have to do a lot of scrolling and searching within there. The fundamental are similar, but the help documentation plus some examples on the Geoprocessing site are your best sources for now.

Your Describe() is referencing the workspace (a folder) rather than the individual images contained within it. Try this:

import os 
import arcpy 

arcpy.env.workspace = "C:\\Rasters" # Contains TIFF, IMG, GRID formats 
filePath = arcpy.env.workspace 

rasterList = arcpy.ListRasters("*", "ALL") 

for name in rasterList:
    desc = arcpy.Describe(filePath + "\\" + name)
    print name
    print desc.bandCount

[GIS] Does ArcPy have spatial search function for geometry

I'm confident something like this can be done because we use the code below in one of our training courses. If it appears not to be working, then I suspect that you have either not defined the layer object by using a layer in the Table of Contents of ArcMap, or by using MakeFeatureLayer outside of ArcMap.

Or, more likely I think it is the "connections = " next to SelectLayerByLocation that is giving you your problem because you are setting that to a Result object and not extracting anything from it before passing it back in.

import arcpy
schoolsLayer = "Schools"
suburbsLayer = "Suburbs"
# get an update cursor as we will be changing values
rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(suburbsLayer)
# loop through each suburb in the layer
for row in rows:
    polygon = row.SHAPE
    arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(schoolsLayer,"INTERSECT",polygon)
