What do I need to change to migrate this ArcMap code to ArcGIS Pro?

It is used to export hundreds of maps and did its job perfectly.

I got the code from this Q&A: https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/67520/157904

    >>> import_path = r"P:\project.mxd"   # Path of .mxd
export_path = r"P:\"   # Path of output file
field_name = "Taxon" # Name of field used to sort DDP

... mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(import_path) 
... for i in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):
...    mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = i
...    row = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow
...    print row.getValue(field_name)
...    arcpy.mapping.ExportToJPEG(mxd, export_path + "." + row.getValue(field_name) + ".jpg",resolution=600) 
... del mxd

This is the error message I get (after @BERAs adaption):

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) In [3]: Line 5: ... mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(import_path)

AttributeError: module 'arcpy' has no attribute 'mapping'

Do I have to change arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(import_path) with arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(aprx_path)?

  • print row.getValue(field_name) should be print(row.getValue(field_name)) since ArcMap is python 2 and ArcGIS Pro p3

To migrate your code from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro, you need to change all references from arcpy.mapping to arcpy.mp. This is covered in the documentation here. Have a look at the code sample #2 for MapSeries for a similar piece of code to your example.
