comment arcpy.RegionGroup fails with error 999999. Workspace or data source is read only
i found the exact same problem -- throws error on C: but not on other drives. probably an ArcGIS error.

comment arcpy: get list of adjacent lines per line
i think this method is logically better than mine, but would take much longer in arcpy because there is no access to the shape method "MergeFeature". instead, one has to modify field values and then dissolve on them in a recursive process. i wish there was better access to these ArcObjects methods in arcpy.

comment Make Graph (Data Management), Changing item names in legend
i would take a look at the matplotlib library (matplotlib.org). it includes a much more diverse toolbox for creating nice-looking graphs than ESRI currently offers. further, you have much more control over all the variables, if you take the time to examine some examples on the site to learn how to use it effectively.

comment arcpy: get list of adjacent lines per line
nice solution to this problem. there is now an arcgis 10.0 tool called "Eliminate" which does a similar function, but takes a selected layer as input.

comment arcpy: get list of adjacent lines per line
yes! this is very similar to the technique that i used in my solution. my function also checks for membership to a "streamID", which may not be applicable to some projects.

comment arcpy: get list of adjacent lines per line
the latter, and not just that, but i want to merge only short lines to longer lines that share a unique ID, which makes things complex =P

comment Problem with SplitLineAtPoint tool in arcpy
the only way to feasibly approach this problem is to run through your procedure multiple times with multiple changes to parameters and verify if it is indeed an internal function error on the part of ArcGIS. if so, an email to ESRI is probably the only thing I can think of.
