I have a file GDB that contains Annotation and Polygon feature classes. I would like to create a list of strings with the first part of the name of the polygon features. For example in the data below I would like to create a list that would appear like the following -
['Canal', 'CanalAreas']
I have used ListFeatureClasses in order to get a list of all the polygon classes, but I'm a lot a loss of what the next step is, - a LEN() style function to move the last 6 characters?
lookfor = []
for dataset in arcpy.ListDatasets():
for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*", "Polygon", dataset):
lookfor.append(fc)
for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("*", "Polygon"):
lookfor.append(fc)
I currently have this list hard coded in another script and would like to make it more dynamic so I don't have to worry about data changes etc. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you want the part before the first underscore? fcBase = fc.split('_')[0] then if fcBase not in lookfor: lookfor.append(fcBase) - probably best to cast fc = fc.lower() first though to avoid multiple items with slightly different case (CanalAreas is not the same as canalareas). Also consider using arcpy.da.Walk resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/018w/… then you won't have to loop for all standalone then all feature classes in feature datasets.

Do you want the part before the first underscore? fcBase = fc.split('_')[0] then if fcBase not in lookfor: lookfor.append(fcBase) - probably best to cast fc = fc.lower() first though to avoid multiple items with slightly different case (CanalAreas is not the same as canalareas). Also consider using arcpy.da.Walk resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/018w/… then you won't have to loop for all standalone then all feature classes in feature datasets.

If you always want the part before first underscore then split at this and fetch first item (index 0) in split list. Set will remove duplicates.
import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r'C:Default.gdb'
polygons = list(set([fc.split('_')[0] for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(feature_type='POLYGON')]))
You can also use re module to split at first non-letter charachter:
import re
polygons = list(set([re.split('[^a-zA-Z]',fc)[0] for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(feature_type='POLYGON')]))

Thanks Bera, this looks great. Upon using the code I noticed the first underscore was not always the right one, so I made a small adjustment like so - polygons = list(set([fc[:-6] for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses(feature_type='POLYGON')]))
