portalpy Vs ArcGIS Python API (for Portal Admin) #23

Closed simongis closed 7 years ago

simongis commented 7 years ago

Apologies for raising this on Github, as not really an issue, but wanted to target your ears.

What is the recommended path for developing scripts for administering a Portal?

The ArcGIS Python API has samples that perform administration and of course PortalPy is dedicated for administering a Portal.

  1. Any pros/cons of each approach?
  2. Will portalpy be ported to support v3 Python?
  3. Is their a roadmap from Esri about which one is more likely to prevail?

@jakc Thanks for the note. I would suggest you to start using the ArcGIS Python API as the path forward.

It would be interesting to know what types of portalpy scripts you have developed for administration. One of the things we are trying to make sure is that the ArcGIS Python API has all of the capabilities as portalpy, so it would be a good use case to compare.

Thanks.

Appreciate the quick response. Will pass on the info to some of our python gurus over here in Australia.
