  • hey are you able to get a line number for the error? Commented Oct 7, 2013 at 18:28
  • Hi, no, no line numbers. the error message is literally the caps lock msg (INFADI etc). however, on the BND error it gave a traceback on the arcpy.GALayerToGrid_ga-expressions Commented Oct 7, 2013 at 18:34

    Three suggestions - two could be related. First, I'd dump the import of arcgisscripting - it's included as part of arcpy. Second, the first line of your try block checks if the file exists, but doesn't do anything with that information, so the check doesn't help the program. You should try an "if not arcpy.Exists(infile): {do something here to handle that}. Lastly, try making your exception handling more robust with the traceback module. It might give you a better pointer to where this issue is coming from. Commented Oct 9, 2013 at 3:39
  • Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I'll try the first and the third. as for the second one, I left it in because of a suggestion in the first blogpost here: pythongisandstuff.wordpress.com that said it might force a file refresh which would avoid randomly thrown errors. but might as well remove it again, since it didn't help me much.
