I need to open a Python Script using GPToolDialog(), but the script is in a Toolset, not in the Toolbox main path.

I tried many ways to solve but do not work, examples:

Example 1:

pythonaddins.GPToolDialog(r'Path to Toolbox\Toolset', 'Script')

Example 2:

pythonaddins.GPToolDialog(r'Path to Toolbox', 'Toolset\Script')

No one ot the examples works.

Alexander,

Note that I created a Toolset into a Toolbox. I realize that  GPToolDialog() calls the script name, even the .py are in or out any Toolset. If my new tool box goes to

Toolbox > Toolset > .py (script)

I can use your code:

import arcpy
import pythonaddins

pythonaddins.GPToolDialog(r'D:\Toolbox.tbx','.py (script, just the name)')‍‍‍‍

This code will call the Script name in the Toolbox, independent the location in any toolset. The name is the key.

Many thanks for the help!

Vinicius,

I created a tool box here: 

D:\Toolbox

I created a tool set named "Tools" and I added a simple script to the toolbox and named it "test2."

Here is the syntax that opens that script in a GP dialog:

import arcpy
import pythonaddins

pythonaddins.GPToolDialog(r'D:\Toolbox.tbx','test2')
