The second question .. How can I create a tool using Python and then call it in the ArcGIS program in order for it to work with any layer that I add to the project?

[dr.zainabameen]

Hello.. I am a new follower of you from Iraq, I had started today by following a page on YouTube, and in the first lesson of the series
ArcMap Scripting with Python and Arcpy
But I was not able to download the shapefile for the exercise, how can I download it to apply the lesson

How come I NEED to set an arcpy.env.workspace for my points layer to be opened? You don't have this in your code, but when I leave it out, it gives me the error that the file cant be opened.

please help im getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Kelvin\Documents\ArcPractice\Scripts\testfeat3.py", line 7, in <module>
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(points, ['NAME', 'POP_MAX', 'TIMEZONE']) as cities_cursor:
RuntimeError: cannot open

[kerimmirzeyev]

import arcpy

arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True

points =
countries =
outpath =
fields = ["NAME", "POP_MAX", "TIMEZONE"]
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(points, "points_layer")
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(points, fields) as cursor:
for k in cursor:
print k[0]
print k[1]
print k[2] + "\n"
Idk why, but if anyone got runtime error like me, just create (arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(points, "points_layer")
it should work. And man thank you for your tutorials these are really helpfull.
