arcpyext is a Python site-package that extends the ArcPy site-package provided with ArcGIS Desktop/Server. These extensions are designed to aid in the completion of common tasks by packaging them into easy-to-use methods.

Feature Overview

Currently, arcpyext has functionality for preparing map documents for publishing as map services, and performing CRUD operations within an edit session on a geo-database.

arcpyext.mapping

The mapping module provides features for changing the data sources of a layer, creating a Service Definition Draft (SDDraft), modifying many of the service settings on an SDDraft, and staging an SDDraft to a Service Definition (SD).

##arcpyext.data The data module wraps the basic create, update and delete operations in an edit session, automatically starting/ stoping/aborting an edit operation as appropriate. The functions simply wrap the appropriate arcpy.da cursors, so functionally they work identically. Also provided is a handy fucntion for reading rows into a list.
