I created an ArcGIS Interoperability Tool, which I like to use in my ArcPY script. In order to find the correct code I created an ArcGIS Toolbox Model including my Interoperability Tool, and exported as an ArcPy script.

Everything looks fine, I checked google and stuff. I get an DataInterop license, I import the Toolbox with my Interoperability Tool (which uses an Alias). Then I define the input and ouput. When I try to start the Interopability Tool I get the following message :

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute

I didn't find anything usefull on the internet which can be found with the above error message and Data Interoperability. Does somebody know how to use a self create Data Interoperability Tool with ArcPy?

Which version of ArcGIS are you using? You can edit your question to include this information. Welcome to GIS.SE! –  Paul Apr 22 '14 at 21:27
    
Perhaps the Alias is incorrect. You can use Arcpy to list the available tools and toolboxes. –  klewis Jul 5 '14 at 15:25

I did have a conversation with ESRI, and it seems I run into a bug. The above error will occur if you try to run ArcPY externaly and try to run an Data Interoperability tool, and you have installed Production Mapping and/or the Workflow Manager. ESRI doesn know when it wil fixed it. My script did perfectly run externally when I deinstalled my production mapping and the workflow manager. –  user28510 Jul 7 '14 at 12:35

The symptoms that you describe seem to be the same as those discussed in the Esri Knowledge Base Article 38563 entitled Error: AttributeError: 'module' has no attribute when calling Spatial ETL tool which recommends that you:

Copy and paste the following code into the Python script after importing the arcpy module and before using the Spatial ETL tool

class LicenseError(Exception):
    pass

try:
    if arcpy.CheckExtension("DataInteroperability") == "Available":
        arcpy.CheckOutExtension("DataInteroperability")
        print "Checked out \"DataInteroperability\" Extension"
    else:
        raise LicenseError
except LicenseError:
    print "Data Interoperability license is unavailable"
except:
    print arcpy.GetMessages(2)

Thank you for your answer, but the only thing is does, is getting a DataInteroperability License if it is available, but I already did this in my script. –  user28510 Apr 24 '14 at 12:27
    
@user28510 Perhaps you can include a working snippet from your script that includes this. –  PolyGeo♦ Apr 24 '14 at 21:06
