How to create a polygon by reading the geometry of another polygon layer using ArcPy?

Question

Basically, I am trying to generate polygon geometries based on the selection of another polygon layer. These polygons will be copied into a new empty schema. I avoiding using the Append and Copy operations since they won't meet all the requirements needed for my output. I also found the cursors help me achieving the desired result way faster. As a result, I need to print the polygon coordinates as one single line text string instead of multi-line. This output will be used as a variable to generate the polygon later in the code.

for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor("countAddrPnts_lyr", ["OID@", "SHAPE@", "SITUS_STREET_NUMBER_END2", "SITUS_STREET_NUMBER2"]):
x = 0
for part in row[1]:
    for pnt in part:
        if pnt:
            pntArray = ("arcpy.Point(" + "{}, {}".format(pnt.X, pnt.Y) + "),")
            print pntArray
    x += 1

The current output looks like this:

arcpy.Point(907781.079669, 628629.095669),
arcpy.Point(907782.765669, 628579.116669),
arcpy.Point(907649.596669, 628574.910669),
arcpy.Point(907647.068669, 628649.878669),
arcpy.Point(907780.236669, 628654.092669),
arcpy.Point(907781.079669, 628629.095669),

I need it to look as follows:

arcpy.Point(907781.079669, 628629.095669), arcpy.Point(907782.765669, 628579.116669), arcpy.Point(907649.596669, 628574.910669), arcpy.Point(907647.068669, 628649.878669), arcpy.Point(907780.236669, 628654.092669), arcpy.Point(907781.079669, 628629.095669)

Maybe my approach is not the correct one, so any suggestions will be welcome.

BTW, I am not a programmer per se therefore, my code will not be the prettiest but it is doing the job.

In this other post you can download the data in GDB format, as well as the py script.

What you're calling "your output" is actually one piece of output per point. You need to store it all in the same variable, appending to it each time (untested):

for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor("countAddrPnts_lyr", ["OID@", "SHAPE@", "SITUS_STREET_NUMBER_END2", "SITUS_STREET_NUMBER2"]):
    x = 0
    poly_text = ""
    for part in row[1]:
        for pnt in part:
            if pnt:
                poly_text += "arcpy.Point(" + "{}, {}".format(pnt.X, pnt.Y) + "),"
    print poly_text # should contain all points' text
    x += 1

A little list comprehension and the .join function will do it.

pntString = ", ".join (["arcpy.Point ({}, {})".format (xy [0], xy [1]) for xy
                     in arcpy.da.SearchCursor ("countAddrPnts_lyr", "SHAPE@XY")])
