Hi,
I want to be able to convert geometries between GeoJSON [1], esri JSON [2, 3], and esri Python objects [4] using ArcGIS 10.1 SP1.
[1] http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html
[2] http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/...0000004m000000
[3] https://developers.arcgis.com/javasc...-amd.html etc.
[4] http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/...0000070000000/
Converting GeoJSON to esri Python using arcpy.AsShape as described in [2] works.
However, converting esri JSON to esri Python described in example 6 on the same help page [2] raises an error.
I understand the error but none of my experiments worked and this example is from the official help.
I believed it was possible to get esri JSON from esri Python using the JSON property on geometry objects [4], but this consistently fails with errors like:
Do you know about a reliable way of converting esri geometries to GeoJSON in Python?
I would be grateful for any comments.
Filip.

Code:
esri_json = {"paths" : [[[-97.08, 32.8], [-97.05, 32.6], [-97.06, 32.7], [-97.07, 32.6]], [[-97.4, 32.5], [-97.2, 32.75]]], "spatialReference" : {"wkid" : 4326}}
polyline = arcpy.AsShape(esri_json, True)
>>> # returns
