Call a script from the default toolbox

DanCrawford — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 23:38:38 GMT

Is there any way to call a script using the project's default toolbox parameter?
What works:
arcpy.ImportToolbox(path + r"\ArcGIS_Pro.atbx")
arcpy.ArcGISProatbx.SE4Polygons()

What I would like to do:
arcpy.ImportToolbox(project.defaultToolbox)                     #this part is ok
mytools = arcpy.ImportToolbox(project.defaultToolbox) #this is ok too
arcpy.project.defaultToolbox.SE4Polygons()                       # doesn't work
arcpy.mytools.SE4Polygons()                                                # doesn't work

Thanks in advance!

I think you need to specify an alias for the toolbox on the fly, or set the alias beforehand in the tbx.

import arcpy aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") #import toolbox with alias 'default_toolbox' arcpy.ImportToolbox(aprx.defaultToolbox, 'default_toolbox') #run SE4() arcpy.default_toolbox.SE4Polygons()
