Help with converting a python toolbox .pyt file to a full python wheel / package.

Question

Greetings,

I'm having issues turning a python toolbox into a sharable installable wheel package.

I've followed the samples in the docs multiple times. After doing so, I can import my package in the python console, but no matter what I do, the toolbox never shows up as an available toolbox in the Geoprocessing pane.

Is there another step I'm missing that has to be done once you convert the toolbox to a wheel file for it to show up there?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help. In the end, I got things working and had a repeatable process. Part of the issue was that I was trying to install it into the default env instead of a clone. Once I have my notes organized, I'll try and post my solution/resolution here.

Don't know, but in Pro 3, I add my toolbox and I can search by toolbox name or tool name

So this feature is what I'm looking for, which is in the guide. But I can't ever seem to get mine to show up in the pane or be searchable.

In ArcGIS Pro, the SamplePythonToolbox tool is available from the Geoprocessing pane and is searchable.
