Hi Nathan,
I'm sorry about this problem. The currently-available version of MGET
(0.8a53) is not compatible with 10.2.1. I have been unable to work much on
MGET since December, due to another urgent project.
But not all is lost. A workaround is available that makes 0.8a53 compatible
with 10.1, and--even better--I am doing the final testing of 0.8a54 today,
which will be 10.2.1 compatible.
I have a long meeting to attend now but will get back to you this afternoon,
either with the workaround or with a build of 0.8a54 that I believe will
work for 10.2.1.
The multiple versions of Python will not be a problem, so long as 1) the
last version of ArcGIS Desktop is the one you intended to use, 2) you
accepted the default options in the ArcGIS setup program, which allow it to
set the Windows File Associations to use that version of Python as the
default handler of .py files, and 3) you have not subsequently installed
Python yourself (e.g. by downloading from www.python.org) unless you were
careful to prevent its installer from setting the Windows File Associations,
overwriting what ArcGIS did. I should probably add 4) you did not install
the ArcGIS 64-bit Background Geoprocessing, which MGET is not compatible
with at this time.
In short, if the last Python-related thing you installed was 10.2.1 and you
accepted its default options, then you are good to go. It will overwrite the
Python 2.7.3 that Arc 10.2 installed to C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2 with Python
2.7.5 (installed to the same directory). It will also upgrade the numpy
package there to 1.7.1 and matplotlib to 1.3.0. The other Python packages
that were already installed there, such as the pywin32 package that MGET
requires and MGET itself (the GeoEco package), will remain untouched. For
MGET to be compatible, however, you will either need to patch the existing
one using the workaround, or uninstall it and then install 0.8a54 which I
hope to release later today.
Best,
Jason

Subject: [mget-help] Help troubleshooting a 10.2.1 instal
Hello,
I'm having problems getting MGET tools to run on an install with 10.2.1.
1. Is this version supported?
2. This system had Arc 10 installed previously so there appears to be
multiple versions of python installed on the system... 2.5,2.6 and 2.7.
a. I'm thinking this would be a potential issue.
The tool box is visible and the tool appears to execute but it doesn't
appear to be able to find the python library's to execute the function to do
any work to write something to disc although the tool returns a completed
message.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your time,
Nate
