Thanks for the prompt responses everyone! I can always count on you.
Credit for the solution goes to Wai Ming Chan and Jim Herberich:
In a rather surprising Friday afternoon twist, it was not in the spaces in the filenames. I had this code running last week and accidentally saved over it. I encountered the error while trying to reconstruct it. Previously the spaces in the filenames had not given me any issues, so I was a little skeptical.
The problem was in the fullPath variable.
It was: fullPath = os.path.join(path, fileName)
It should have been: fullPath = os.path.join(root, fileName)
Thanks again to everyone who weighed in. I've asked my fellow staff to also refrain from naming files with spaces in them. ;)
Happy Friday!

Subject: Python: Invalid MXD filename
Would anyone mind taking a look at this Python code and telling me why it says my MXD filename is invalid?
import arcpy, os
path = r"I:\ARC\DATA\MXDs"
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
for fileName in files:
fullPath = os.path.join(path, fileName)
basename, extension = os.path.splitext(fullPath)
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(fullPath)
if extension == ".mxd":
for df in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd):
for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"",df):
findthis = value1
findthat = value2
if findthis in lyr.name or findthat in lyr.name:
lyr.replaceDataSource(r'I:/ARC/Data/ITrees.gdb','FILEGDB_WORKSPACE','Trees')
print(lyr.name + " - Layer Resourced")
else:
pass
print lyr.name + ": Pass"
arcpy.RefreshTOC()
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
mxd.save()
print "--Script complete--"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "I:\ARC\Data\Expressions\Trees_Walk.py", line 9, in <module>
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(fullPath)
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\arcobjects\mixins.py", line 609, in __init__
assert (os.path.isfile(mxd) or (mxd.lower() == "current")), gp.getIDMessage(89004, "Invalid MXD filename")
AssertionError: Invalid MXD filename.
When I print the variable "fullPath" it looks something like this:
I:\ARC\DATA\MXDs\Clinton Base Map.mxd
But when I feed the value into
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(fullPath)
it doesn't like it anymore
