Enabling time on a layer file using Python

    Does anyone know if you can enable time on a layer with a script in Python. From what I can tell, this is still not available in 10.1 but I want to verify. 10.1 does enable you to enable time on a new data frame, if a time enabled layer has been added, but I have not figured out how to enable time on the actual layer file.

    Thanks in advance if anyone can shed some light on this issue.

    Hi Tara, if you haven't already, check in with Greg Pederson.  I know he was working directly with ESRI on the time-enabled layer feature as it related to his paleoclimate work.  He might have some insight.  I think the feature is so new that only a few folks have jumped into it yet, and he's the first that comes to mind.  Good luck!

    Thanks for the response Bryan. I'm afraid I was actually the person who did most of the time enabled GIS work for Greg. It is super easy to do manually, the problem is that I need to animate over 4,000 maps. Therefore, I would like to animate it. I am just finding it very strange that you can enable time on the dataframe with code, but you can't enable time on the actual layer file. I do have a request in with ESRI as well so hopefully we will get this figured out. Thank you though!
