I would like to get a list of geodatabase feature tables from FME.
Is it possible with Python? Or another transformer?

Same Oracle Spatial Connection - Same TABLE - but using two TESTERs to define FeatureType
and then write the to visualiser (or Shapefiles)
I would try the Tester transformer using the operator 'Contains'
i.e. test if [string attribute] 'contains' [ID attribute]
Seems a quicker way of implementing this; I just tried it (took 2 minutes to setup) and it seems to work fine.

I would use a dynamic reader (ie one with just a single source feature type with the merge filter set). Then expose the fme_feature_type format attribute. This will give you the name of the table being read.
You can run the data through a DuplicateRemover too, removing duplicate values for fme_feature_type, in order to get a list of unique table names.
There is a Schema format that returns the schema of a dataset, but I think it works only with file-based data, and wouldn't work with a File Geodatabase (though it might with a Personal Geodatabase).
