I guessed you worked in GIS before you mentioned ArcGIS. Our old software was tied with QGIS and I worked hard to de-couple. Tying a Python env to these whales is insane. I think a Cython extension or a second process that uses ArcGIS, with a simple interface between them, might be a better choice for the future? Never needed that though.
