+56We are migrating to FME 2025.1 and I have a question about arcpy.
I set the Python Compatibility to Esri ArcGIS Python 3.11. I then add a PythonCaller. Now workbench asks me to change the Python Compatibility to Python 3.13+?
If I choose Cancel, I won’t get a PythonCaller.
If I choose Change Python Compatibility, and I add “import arcpy” the workbench fails.
What am I supposed to do to let FME 2025.1 run arcpy? Also for FME server.

The solution is to change back the Python Compatibility to Esri ArcGIS Python 3.11 after adding the PythonCaller, and it just works. I think it is a bit strange, but if it works, I’m happy. Not tested on server yet.

+16Seems a bit buggy but I’m glad you found a solution as I’m sure I would have run into this one myself pretty soon!
