PyScripter Question

[RobertPincus]

During the 2012 Dev Conference in Palm Springs, some of the ESRI staff were using PyScripter to edit Python scripts. I downloaded it, and I cannot figure out how get it to work with my installation of Python 2.6 that comes with ArcGIS 10.0. Can anyone offer help?

Thanks,
Robert

What problem are you having? Mine works fine.

[RobertPincus]

When I start PyScripter, I get this error "Python could not be properly initialized. We must quit".

Did you install the 64 bit version of pyscripter? ArcGIS uses 32 bit, even if your machine is 64. That can cause this error, according to Google results.

[RobertPincus]

It's a 64bit install. According to the PyScripter blog, I think the problem is that the ArcGIS installation of Python does not register it.
Here is a link that discusses a little.

You need the 32 bit PyScripter.
