I have&nbsp;followed the instructions <A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.4/analyze/creating-tools/editing-script-tool-code.htm">here</A>&nbsp;but when I right click the item in catalog and 'edit' it just seems to refresh the folder the item is in and do nothing else. I have also tried setting PyCharm as the default editor but the behaviour is the same. If I do not specify an editor it opens in notepad as expected. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Any suggestions?</P><P></P><P>Thanks in advance</P><P></P><P>Gino</P><P></P><P>P.S. Sorry,&nbsp;further details:</P><P>I have tried both x86 and x64 pyscripters and have forced running python 2.7. I am running Windows 7 x64 and ArcGIS 10.4.1.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 14 Mar 2017 05:57:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/editing-python-toolboxes-with-pyscripter/m-p/149776#M11610 GinoMellino 2017-03-14T05:57:13Z Re: Editing python toolboxes with PyScripter https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/editing-python-toolboxes-with-pyscripter/m-p/149777#M11611 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Have you tried just starting PyScripter and using File/Open in the normal manner?
