I am working with ArcMap and am using ArcPy.

My task is to loop through mxds and find broken data sources.

My code is:

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(fullPath)

brknMXD = arcpy.mapping.ListBrokenDataSources(mxd)

for brknItem in brknMXD:  

    if brknItem.supports("workspacePath"):

        try:

            source = brknItem.workspacePath

            print  str(brknItem) + ": " +  source

        except:

            print "unexpected error"

            continue

    else:

        print "Layer does not support source"

Some mxds have TableViews and that is where the code breaks.

Traceback (most recent call last): File
"P:ScriptsFind_MXDs_Broken_Sources.py", line 5, in
if brknItem.supports("workspacePath"): AttributeError: 'TableView' object has no attribute 'supports'

I checked within an mxd python interpreter to see what type of objects are return by arcpy.mapping.ListBrokenDataSources(mxd) and it indicated:

>>> for each in brknMXD:

...     print type(each)

...     

<class 'arcpy._mapping.Layer'>

<class 'arcpy._mapping.Layer'>

<class 'arcpy._mapping.Layer'>

<class 'arcpy._mapping.TableView'>

Clearly I can just set a test to distinguish between these two types, but I don't know how exactly to write it.

Any ideas?

You could use the describe statement

objects... give it a go and see what you get: if
arcpy.Describe(brknItem).dataType == 'Layer': before .supports(..
