declaimed the following in gmane.comp.python.general:


> for fc in fclist:
>     fc=str(arcpy.GetCount_management(fc).getOutput(0))

	This does not do what you think it does.

	fc first is bound to the first element of the list fclist

	Then, fc is bound to the string representation of whatever the stuff
on the right side evaluates into..

	I suspect you need to study the library reference manual on
"dictionaries"...
