#94112 — batch spatial join - python

Hello, 

I would like to do a spatial join in a batch process in python. 

# I have this layers: 

neighbourhood = "D:\\Users\\laraifat\\Desktop\\pythonproject\\layers\\neighbourhood.shp"
buildings = "D:\\Users\\laraifat\\Desktop\\pythonproject\\layers\\buildings.shp"
openspace = "D:\\Users\\laraifat\\Desktop\\pythonproject\\layers\\openspace.shp"
buses = "D:\\Users\\laraifat\\Desktop\\pythonproject\\layers\\buses.shp"
education = "D:\\Users\\laraifat\\Desktop\\pythonproject\\layers\\education.shp"
health = "D:\\Users\\laraifat\\Desktop\\pythonproject\\layers\\health.shp"
sport_point_shp = "D:\\Users\\laraifat\\Desktop\\pythonproject\\layers\\sport_point.shp"

#I created this variables with the layers:

input_features = [sport_point_shp, health, buses, education] #the layers that will be used to count the buildings inside the neighbourhood layer
new_layers = ["join_sport", "join_health", "join_buses", "join_education"] # the layer that will be created after join 

arcpy.BatchSpatialJoin_analysis(neighbourhood, input_features, new_layers, "JOIN_ONE_TO_ONE", "KEEP_ALL", "", "INTERSECT")

#### but when i run the script is says:

Runtime error 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'BatchSpatialJoin_analysis'


How can i solve this problem? 

Thank you!

You seem to be using arcpy. Unfortunately, that's not a standard part of
Python, so I don't know it very well. But looking at the error you get:


> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute

it looks like the line starting with this:

arcpy.BatchSpatialJoin_analysis(neighbourhood, blah-blah-blah...)

is misspelled. Are you sure that it's called *Batch* SpacialJoin_analysis?

Looking at this page:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/0008/00080000000q000000.htm

I think you might need to change it to:

arcpy.SpatialJoin_analysis(neighbourhood, blah-blah-blah...)


Does that help?
