By now, we're all very familiar with using geoprocessing tools in ArcGis. But this week gave us the opportunity to learn how to utilize those tools with Python scripting.
After each tool is performed, your script will print a message with information about its successful execution and a time stamp of when the tool was executed. The screen shot above is an example of such a message. For this exercise, we were tasked with writing a code that would add x,y coordinates and a 1000-meter buffer to the designated shapefile.
Since I am still very new to writing code, the Esri website was very helpful in guiding me through this process.
