How do I run a Spatial ETL Tool I built in an ArcCatalog toolbox in a python script?
General method for other tools is to import the toolbox.
Then:
arcpy.MyTool()
Spatial ETL tools are not showing up as part of the module.
Created a model, embedding the spatial ETL tool within it. Could call this tool in the arcpy module, but it will not run in PythonWin.
Message:

From ArcCatalog, the tool runs fine.
Suggestions?
