gpf package¶
Subpackages¶
Module contents¶
This is the documentation for the gpf (Geocom Python Framework) package for Python 2.7. For the Python 3 version (suitable for ArcGIS Pro), please refer to the gpf3 package.
The gpf package contains several subpackages with tools and helpers for all kinds of ArcGIS-related geoprocessing and data management tasks. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 as an open-source product, allowing the community to freely use it, improve it and possibly add new features.
Several tools in this package require Esri’s arcpy
Python library, which does not make this a free package.
However, users who have already installed and authorized ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap, ArcCatalog etc.) should be able to work
with this package without any problems.
Note
It is recommended to import arcpy
via the gpf
package (from gpf import arcpy
).
This will load the same (and unmodified) module as import arcpy
would load, but it shows
more useful error messages when the import fails.
