Soooo I have been working on a script I took from ArcGIS Blueprints:
http://file.allitebooks.com/20151230/ArcGIS%20Blueprints.pdf
It should convert geolocated tweets into a geodatabase. I have the Twitter Streaming API already operational, and been playing with different ways to extract x/y, but keep coming back to this script, every so often, hoping I can get it running with no luck. I am stuck on a "List Index Out of Range" error. If anyone is gracious enough to offer some ideas on how I can get by this error I will be forever grateful. If nothing else this endeavor has exploited my shortcomings with Python and Arcpy, and hopefully it will round me out in the long run. For right now, I sure would like to get some mileage out of this script and the work Ive invested into it. Thank you!
