I'm trying to use FromGeohash method in Arcpy but it is failing. Here's my code:

import arcpy
spatial_reference = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)
print spatial_reference
extent = arcpy.FromGeohash('9q8yyx')

It's giving me the error: 

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python27/ArcGIS10.7/Scripts/Geohash_Converter.py", line 4, in <module>
    extent = arcpy.FromGeohash('9q8yyx')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FromGeohash'

Can anyone tell me what's causing this? Arcpy seems to have been imported correctly.

It looks like the FromGeohash function is only available in the ArcPro version of ArcPy. With the ArcMap version (10.6) if I try to import that I get an error:

from arcpy import FromGeohash

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name FromGeohash

Also the only documentation I can find for FromGeohash is for ArcGIS Pro. The only mention of Geohash I can find in the ArcMap documentation is for the Data Interoperability extension.

So it looks like you will either need to use the ArcGIS Pro python interpreter or else use a different module for decoding the geohash. It looks like this Python module might work?
