cannot find '_base' module
mhubel opened this issue · comments
Hello,
I've been trying to use your code to include ArcPy with the Anaconda application. Unfortunately, it fails to import the module '_base' from the geoprocessing folder:
But I can easily locate this module in my windows browser, and it is within the arcpy\geoprocessing folder. Any suggestions for troubleshooting?
Is this on simply doing import arcpy or something else?
This is not one I have come across. It usually comes down to something not being on the system path.
The underscore often indicates that the module is a wrapper around a dll (or is a pyd itself)...
Try adding the folder to your system path manually...archook adds the following folders from the arcgis install dir to the path:
/arcpy, /bin or /bin64, ArcToolbox/Scripts.
It may be that something else needs adding...
Closing as no response
I am getting the same error as OP. I had been trying to point to arcpy at C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.3\python.exe. Maybe that's a clue?
I've replicated the issue so re-opening. No details at present because I haven't yet dug into what's different/significant.
Status?
Thanks for the bump. I can't replicate the problem today and my notes don't have the detail to let me reconstruct what I was doing the last time. Do you have a reproducible recipe @Hazedd?
@maphew , bit of bummer but arcgis python is just a mess on my pc atm. not sure what happend.... for now i cant reproduce it.
closing as out of date / stale. When it becomes an active problem again feel free to re-open.
I am having this issue while trying to compile my project with pyinstaller. same error as shown in #15 - but I can see '_base.py' in the geoprocessing folder. any progress made on this? Thanks!
@strummy96 is your project somewhere public? Feel free to send it to me at matt.wilkie@yukon.ca if it's something that shouldn't be shared. Failing that give more details on the environment so I can try and reproduce the error locally.
