Is it possible to use ArcObjects in Python?
For background see Mark Cederholm’s presentations for UberPyGeeks on “Using ArcObjects in Python”. There are separate ones for VBA and C++ developer perspectives. They use Visual Studio (yes Express is ok) and the Windows SDK, but these aren’t required, just ArcGIS, Python and comtypes are sufficient.
How to use ArcPy in a.NET application?
This topic discusses how you can take advantage of the power of Python packages, especially the ArcPy package, in a .NET application. ArcPy is a site package that comes with any ArcGIS product. The functions are built upon the fine-grain ArcObjects to simplify many geoprocessing tasks.
How can I use ArcPy for Geoprocessing?
ArcPy provides access to geoprocessing tools as well as additional functions, classes, and modules that allow you to create simple or complex workflows quickly and easily. Broadly, ArcPy is organized in tools, functions, classes, and modules. Technically speaking, geoprocessing tools are functions available from ArcPy.
How to add feature layers to map through Python?

How to add layers to an arcpy.mapping document?
A common scenario is to author a template map document with no layers, then use the arcpy.mapping AddLayer, AddLayerToGroup, or InsertLayer functions to add layers to the map document. If a legend element is pre-authored to automatically add new items to the legend, the legend items will appear automatically.
What are some examples of how ArcPy can be used?
The following are only a few simple examples in how arcpy.mapping can be used: Replace a layer’s data source. Iterate through a series of data frame extents, find and replace text values, and export the page layout to PDF. Build a complete map book by appending PDF documents into a final product.
How to create in process objects in Python?
If not, this function will create objects in the Python process (ie. out-of process), and object references will be wrong. To create in process objects from an external Python script you should use IObjectFactory. See Kirk Kuykendall’s comments and tips in this stackexchange post for more info.
Is there a way to access C + + methods in Python?

It’s been my experience that these autogenerated APIs get pretty nasty when passing non-native C++ types (int, floats) and are never very ‘ pythonic ‘.
