Is there a way to use the Planarize Tool (Editing tool) in a ArcPy script.

I want to create a script for a question I posted and with the help of the community resolved that problem. Please see the link:

Populate cross street name at intersections

I would like to automate this process but using the Planarize tool is a necessity in the process.

You can accomplish this function with the Feature to Line (Data Management) geoprocessing tool which will split lines when they intersect each other:

"Where input lines or polygon boundaries touch, cross, or overlap each other at locations other than their start and end vertices, they will be split at those intersections"

    You should probably mention that this requires an Advanced level license, which is still the case at ArcGIS 10.4.1. – PolyGeo Oct 19 '16 at 04:43
  • Which means that it doesn't answer the question, as Planarize Lines only requires a Standard licence. – Juffy May 31 '17 at 01:02
