Hi,

I have ArcGIS desktop 10.2.2 (with background geoprocessing) and ArcGIS Pro 2.1.2 installed. I'm running FME 2018.0 , no admin rights.

 

How do I call specifically the ArcGIS Pro Python 3.x (C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\Pro\\bin\\Python\\envs\\arcgispro-py3) from the Python Caller?

 

When running the Python Caller example here:

https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/47216/using-arcpy-for-fme-feature-processing.html

 

I see this message in the log:

Using Python interpreter from `C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python27.dll' with PYTHONHOME `C:\\Python27\\ArcGISx6410.2'

Python version 2.7 loaded successfully

 

I don't quite understand the implications of changing the FME interpreter itself...does that limit the functionality of FME tools if I change the entire workbench to run from another version of Python? Incidentally when I've changed it in FME>options>translation>Python interpreter (from FME 2.7 to the ArcGIS Pro option) - it has no impact.

 

In my head - what I want to do is leave FME alone as much as possible, but harness ArcPy functionality using ArcPy from ArcGIS Pro - I assume the easiest way would be setting the interpreter within the python caller/ script itself - is that what PYTHONHOME is doing above?

 

Many thanks

 

 

You version combination should work according to this documentation.

This is how it should work:

Thanks - I have no option for Python Home on that page of my Translation Options - I just have an option to change the Preferred Python interpreter

Thanks - it seems that by changing the scripting workspace parameter to be Pro as the first step above it has run using Python 3.6 as included with ArcGIS Pro. Just changing it in The translation had no impact for me.
