But when I right-click a Python Toolbox (*.pyt) and try to edit, the script comes up as white (see second page of PDF) and is 100% immutable. No matter what settings I mess with, I'm forced to edit the file with a white background.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Even more concerning, Pyscripter doesn't seem to recognize it as a script. There's no autoindentation or introspection, though I can add new text.
