I'm trying to write a script that will ultimately create a large number of geometric networks for a stream basin modeling project. The script will run through a list of geodatabases, and in each gdb it will create a feature dataset for each feature class present and then import that feature class into the dataset. It will then create a geometric network using that feature class within the new dataset.
Now I can get the script to successfully create the datasets and import the feature classes, but for some reason the Create Geometric Network tool will not accept a variable for the "in_source_feature_classes" parameter. If I put anything other than the actual name of an existing feature class I get an error.
A copy of my script is attached below. If anyone has any solutions, ideas, suggestions....anything, I'd really appreciate it
Thanks

Code:
# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
# Get the workspace parameter
input_GDB = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
# Set the input workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = input_GDB
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
# List the feature classes in the workspace
fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
# Loop through feature classes
for fc in fcList:
# set up new-name variables
basin = fc[:-10]
fdsName = basin+"_Hydro"
newFCname = basin+"Flowlines"
netName = basin+"_Hydro_Net"
# create feature dataset
newFDS = arcpy.CreateFeatureDataset_management (input_GDB, fdsName, fc)
# import feature class
newFC = arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion (fc, newFDS, newFCname)
# Create Geometric Network
GeoNet = arcpy.CreateGeometricNetwork_management (fds, netName, "newFC SIMPLE_EDGE NO", "", "", "", "", "PRESERVE_ENABLED")
# Set Flow Direction
#arcpy.SetFlowDirection_management(GeoNet, "WITH_DIGITIZED_DIRECTION")
