Python equivalents to AML functions
Geoprocessing in ArcGIS is the execution of a tool to create new information from existing information. Results are typically used as input to subsequent tools to automate a workflow, typically involving data management, spatial analysis, data conversion tasks or a combination of all three. Geoprocessing has been around for many years, with ArcInfo Workstation being one of the first products to provide a rich collection of GIS operations, or commands, and a flexible framework for using them, the Arc Macro Language (AML).
ArcGIS 9 introduced a new set of GIS operators and a new framework for using them. Many of the operators are familiar to any ArcInfo Workstation user, such as Union or Clip, as names were maintained whenever possible. ArcGIS 9.0 also added support for scripting languages, such as Python, so more complex workflows often used in AML could also be written but using non proprietary languages that provided more capabilities than AML.
The effort to maintain a relationship between command and tool names between Workstation ArcInfo and ArcGIS 9 was also extended to the scripting model, with many procedures remaining similar in nature. Where possible, the ease of use in AML was maintained in ArcGIS, such as listing data in a workspace or describing the properties of a dataset. The goal is that any AML user can quickly learn to write a geoprocessing script with ArcGIS.
To assist in this transition, the below equivalents outline how to perform AML functions, but using Python. Not all AML functions and directives necessarily apply to the new model, as some were directly related to the ArcInfo Workstation's environment (such as the SHOW function), while others (such as LISTFILE), are better supported by Python itself, rather than ArcGIS geoprocessing components. Many examples use general Python modules in conjunction with the ArcGIS geoprocessor.
