Possible to use ET Geowizards in Python Script?

Question

Hi friends,

I am trying to use ET Geowizards as part of a Python Script, but keep getting this error:

ERROR 000824: The tool is not licensed.
Failed to execute (ET_GPErase).

The script I basing it off of was given by the man almighty himself at this link:

Thanks!

aha!

so even though the tools are free, scripting with them is not.

not trying to be a cheapskate, just trying to get my script to work.

Thanks!

For I know it does not work without license. Even the free tools.
It works for me with ArcGIS 10 SP3, arcpy and ETGW 10.0.
Example:
arcpy.ImportToolbox("C:/Program Files (x86)/ET SpatialTechniques/ET GeoWizards 10.0 for ArcGIS 10/ET GeoWizards.tbx")
arcpy.gp.ET_GPCleanGaps(single, cleangaps)
