Basics of ArcPy
Now that you have an understanding of python syntax you can start working with the ArcPy package. ArcPy is the Python package provided by ArcGIS to perform and automate geoprocessing and map production tools tasks. In addition to the geoprocessing tools available in ArcGIS you have access to additional modules, functions, and classes. When combined you can create workflows and standalone tools that simplify and automate complex analysis and map production.
