How can I check whether or not a feature class is versioned using Python?
I'm trying to register feature classes using a python script. Before I do this I need to check whether a feature class is versioned. Are there keywords that we can use in coding while looping through the feature classes?
Answer
If you call the method arcpy.Describe() on your feature class - e.g. arcpy.Describe("path/to/my/feature/class"), you will get a Dataset properties object. You can then use the isVersioned property of this object to get a boolean, whether or not your dataset is versioned.
Code snippet:
import arcpy
datasetVersioned = arcpy.Describe("path/to/my/feature/class").isVersioned
Remember to use escaped backslash characters, forward slashes, or a raw string in the path
