Code sample
The following stand-alone script prints the parcel type names associated with the parcel fabric and accesses parcel type elements. It also prints the name of the topology associated with the parcel fabric.
import arcpy
#Create a Describe object from the parcel fabric dataset
desc = arcpy.Describe("C:/ArcGISProData/ParcelFabricPro.gdb/CountySmall/ParcelFabricSmall")
#Print parcel type names associated with the parcel fabric
for p in desc.parcelTypeNames:
print ("Parcel type: " + p)
#Print parcel type tuples
for p in desc.parcelTypes:
print(p)
#Print the boundary keyword for the Lots parcel type
for i in desc.parcelTypes:
if i[0] == 'Lot':
print(i[3])
#print topology name associated with the parcel fabric
print("topology: " + desc.topology.name)
