ArcPy "import" statement tries to perform import action?

In my startup script I use an "import ArcPy" in order to create a new version of my ArcSDE database. I changed the Python interpreter to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll.

My code (some "private parts" disguised with <XXXXXX>

import sys
import datetime
import arcpy
import fme
inWorkspace = r'<XXXXXX>BUDATA/ArcSDE Connecties/GABUAPP_AREAALDATA.sde'parentVersion = 'sde.DEFAULT'
versionName =  'GISIBsync_' + datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
arcpy.CreateVersion_management(inWorkspace,parentVersion,versionName,"PUBLIC")

To my surprise during runtime it seems as if the startup script is trying to create an Autodesk 3Ds reader (in bold in the output beneath), which is strange since my FME-workspace only contains Oracle Spatial and ArcSDE readers. It also seems that this reader is trying to read the ArcGIS toolboxes (!).

Even stranger: after this unsuccesful creation of a reader, the startup script continues, and finally creates the ArcSDE database version.

Starting translation...

First of all, you can drop the "import fme" statement and see if that makes a difference.

Also, try temporarily removing the startup script and compare the logs, does FME still try to create the Autodesk reader?

Dropping the "import fme" doesn't make a difference.

When removing the startup script completely FME doesn't create the Autdesk 3Ds Reader. Also, when having a startup script without import ArcPy the Autodesk Reader isn't created.

One thing to note is that our ArcGIS (10.2.2) setup includes the Data Interoperability extension.

Perhaps this lead to a sort of "circular reference"?

(unfortunately I can't remove the Data Interop extension myself to check it out, the entire setup of both FME and ArcGIS have been scripted)

The Data Interop might possibly explain it, but that sounds like a question for Safe support.

Is it a show-stopper for your workspace?

Not a show-stopper, as the script continues and creates the new version in ArcSDE.

But a bit inconvenient, since I'd rather have my scripts & workspace error-free

I can symphatize. Consider opening a support ticket with Safe: https://support.safe.com/knowledgeSubmitCase?
