| Jan 24, 2015 at 0:15 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | I'll re-open this question to see if anyone will post an Answer. I'll try to get back and test it - for some reason I thought you were using 10.0 but it seems to be 10.2 so I must have misread. | |

| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:55 | comment | added | gisuser | Noted, agreed, and I just tried your suggestion - same procedure (with the new path of course), same error. As to the OS: Windows Server 2012 Standard, and I also tested this code on a linux installation (don't know what the exact installation was) and received the same error. | |

| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:49 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | Placing a shapefile in "C:/Python27/ArcGISx6410.2" seems like a very risky thing to do - try copying it to a simple location like C:\temp as a test. Also, what is your precise operating system? It sounds like you may need to double-check your configuration against the System Requirements for 10.0. | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:48 | comment | added | gisuser | My code snippet is currently displaying for me as having set arcpy.env.workspace - perhaps reload the page or something? | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:46 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ |
Your current code snippet does not include setting your workspace via arcpy.env.workspace prior to trying to use a shapefile from it without the full path being specified. Unfortunately, I do not have 10.0 to test your code.

| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:35 | comment | added | mr.adam | may be worth setting your workspace to the folder that contains the shapefile: arcpy.env.workspace = r"Z:\program..." and then you just put "shapefile.shp" as the first parameter? | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:33 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | What precise code did you run? What precisely was the error you received from that code? In your question I can only see you trying the other way. | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:32 | comment | added | gm70560 | put: putputarcpy.env.workspace = "in_memory" on the line after: import arcpy | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:32 | comment | added | gisuser | I found that link several hours ago, and tried it to no avail. This line: newlayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(path_to_shapefile_or_feature_class) gives an error. | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:31 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | This answer from the duplicate has the technique that I think should work at 10.0 - gis.stackexchange.com/a/12538. I think the one you are trying had a bug that was fixed at 10.1 SP1. | |

| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:26 | comment | added | gisuser | Apologies, error in the question. I am passing two parameters, I'll update that now. | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:25 | comment | added | phloem | MakeFeatureLayer has 2 required parameters. You need an output layer, like: arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management("C:/blah/blah.shp", "myNewLayer") | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:25 | comment | added | gisuser | I have tried. Trust me, I have tried every combination of escapes, slashes, and string literals for the filepath. I get the same error no matter which. I used the os module to confirm the file's existence, but haven't tried arcpy.Exists. I'll do that now. | |

| Jan 23, 2015 at 23:08 | comment | added | gm70560 | What does arcpy.Exists(yourFile) return? Your path has forward slashes. Try "Z:\\program\\..\\shapefile.shp". | |
