I have this code setup properly (or so I think...) but get ERROR 000989. It would indicate that my syntax in the expression and/or codeblock is incorrect but it works within Arcmap on a single field. I am unsure how to fix this, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Code:
import arcpy
import os, math
from arcpy import env
in_workspace = r"C:/"
fieldName = "Symbology"
expression = "Popclass(!Abbr!)"
codeblock = "def Popclass(City):\
if MKE in City:\
return 1\
elif Madison in City:\
return 2\
elif Eau Claire in City:\
return 3\
else:\
return 0"
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in arcpy.da.Walk(in_workspace, datatype="FeatureClass",type="All"):
if "skipFolder" in dirnames:
for filename in filenames:
if "Abbr" in [f.name for f in arcpy.ListFields(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))]:
arcpy.AddField_management(os.path.join(dirpath,filename), fieldName, "SHORT", "", "", "", "", "NULLABLE")
arcpy.CalculateField_management(os.path.join(dirpath,filename), "Symbology", expression, "PYTHON", codeblock)
else:
print "no Abbr field for dataset ", filename
print "message that reflected field calc use"
print "Finished script"
