Dataset exist and I am able to get statistics from ArcGIS python window. But it failed as a script with error: ERROR 000865: Input raster: C:\temp\ras does not exist. I have tried following suggestions:

but to no avail.Please suggest how to handle this

import arcpy

stat = arcpy.GetRasterProperties_management(r'C:\temp\ras', "MEAN")
avg = stat.getOutput(0)
print avg

    I just took your exact code, replaced your raster path with one to a file geodatabase raster (using the raw string input method of r"C:\path to raster"), and it worked just fine as a script run from my IDE (not from within ArcMap). – Chad Cooper Feb 11 '13 at 15:11
  • your code work for me as script run from cmd and IDE within ArcMap. – Emi Feb 11 '13 at 15:27
  • Exactly what is the full name (with path) of your raster? The error message is perfectly clear--it's not "c:\temp\ras"! – whuber Feb 11 '13 at 17:13
  • It is "ras" and I stated below that after restarting my system, I got it working (reasons aren't obvious to me...maybe a windows thing). – Ibe Feb 12 '13 at 9:25
  • I had the exact same thing happen to me with AsciiToRaster_conversion. I just restarted the computer and it seemed to work just fine. – user20910 Aug 9 '13 at 12:58

Remove the 'r' in your first argument and try forward slashes instead. It will look like this:

stat = arcpy.GetRasterProperties_management('C:/temp/ras', "MEAN")

The function GetRasterProperties_management takes two arguments. The first being the path of the raster and the second is the property. Read more about the function here.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. It still gave the same error even after removing 'r'. I restarted the system and it worked both with and without 'r'. – Ibe Feb 11 '13 at 15:10
  • Interesting solution! Must be a Windows thing. – Taylor H. Feb 11 '13 at 15:16

is "\ras" the folder where the raster is in or is this the raster already? what format is your raster in? you could try with ListRasters first and use the result

arcpy.env.workspace = r"c:\test"
lr = arcpy.ListRasters()
stat = arcpy.GetRasterProperties_management(lr[0], "MEAN") #use the first raster in the list
avg = stat.getOutput(0)
print avg

I have had similar issues with raster processing. I have noticed that you will have less issues with processing a large number of datasets if you set environment variables arcpy.env.workspace and arcpy.env.extent.
