I have to write a script in Arcgis which I would like to use the SpatialJoin tool (arcpy) but I do not have the appropriate extension.

It may be a tool (or example of scripts) for doing the same thing but using the basic license?

What kind of geometry are we talking about? Spatial join has different options for different data types, e.g. Points to Points, Polygon to Points etc – LarsVegas Sep 13 '12 at 11:46

Are you sure SpatialJoin need any extention? In ArcGIS 9.3, Spatial join is available in ArcVIew licence. – Alexandre Neto Sep 13 '12 at 12:59
ArcGIS 9.3 was the last version that had license restrictions on the Spatial Join tool. – RyanDalton Sep 13 '12 at 15:37

I just looked at the SpatialJoin documentation and there does not seem to be any license restriction on it - at least at 10.1, and it is part of core so does not need an extension either.

In 10.0 it doesn't need an extension of anything higher that ArcView either: Spatial Join Documentation – Cody Brown Sep 13 '12 at 14:47
