AddToolbox

Synthèse

Imports the specified toolbox into ArcPy, allowing for access to the toolbox's associated tools.

Remarque :

This function is equivalent to the ImportToolbox function.

Discussion

While any of the core ArcGIS toolboxes are accessible by default in a script, your own custom or third-party toolboxes must be added using ImportToolbox to use them in a script.

Other toolboxes may be found in any number of various folders or geodatabases and may have many different origins; they may be toolboxes you have personally created, or are toolboxes created internally by your organization, or toolboxes you have downloaded from ArcGIS Online or other sites. In any case, these toolboxes must be imported into ArcPy in a one-step process before they can be used as tools in Python.

Server toolboxes can also be added using a semicolon delimiter.

Server	Syntax
Internet ArcGIS Server	URL;servicename;{username};{password}

AddToolbox also supports working with secured ArcGIS Online services using an ArcGIS Server connection (.ags) file. Using an .ags file allows credentials to be stored within the file, hidden from sight.

To allow any arcgis.com user to access your tool, use the UseSSOIdentityIfPortalOwned keyword. Executing AddToolbox will then prompt the Sign In dialog box if not already signed in, or will just succeed if already signed in.

import arcpy
tbx = "http://logistics.arcgis.com/arcgis/services;World/ServiceAreas;UseSSOIdentityIfPortalOwned"
arcpy.AddToolbox(tbx)
arcpy.GenerateServiceAreas_ServiceAreas()

Remarque :

The Sign In dialog box will be used, running a stand-alone Python file.

If a token has already been previously obtained, it can also be used with AddToolbox.

import arcpy

token = 'sadsa213d2j32jsdw02dm2'
referrer = 'http://www.arcgis.com/'
tbx = 'http://logistics.arcgis.com/arcgis/services;' + \
      'World/ServiceAreas;token={};{}'.format(token, referrer)
arcpy.ImportToolbox(tbx)
result = arcpy.GenerateServiceAreas_ServiceAreas()

Syntaxe

AddToolbox (input_file, {module_name})

Paramètre	Explication	Type de données
input_file	The geoprocessing toolbox to be accessed from ArcPy.	String
module_name	If the toolbox does not have an alias, the module_name is required. When a tool is accessed through the ArcPy site package, the toolbox alias where the tool is contained is a required suffix (arcpy.<toolname>_<alias> or arcpy.<alias>.<toolname>). Since ArcPy depends on toolbox aliases to access and execute the correct tool, aliases are extremely important when importing custom toolboxes. A good practice is to always define a custom toolbox's alias; however, if the toolbox alias is not defined, a temporary alias can be set as the second parameter.	String

Valeur renvoyée

Type de données	Explication
Module	Returns the imported module. If needed, tool names can be accessed from the module's __all__ property.

Exemple de code

AddToolbox example

Add the specified toolbox.

import arcpy

# Import custom toolbox
arcpy.AddToolbox("c:/tools/My_Analysis_Tools.tbx")

try:
    # Run tool in the custom toolbox.  The tool is identified by the tool name
    # and the toolbox alias.
    arcpy.GetPoints_myanalysis("c:/data/forest.shp")
except arcpy.ExecuteError:
    print(arcpy.GetMessages(2))
