I've found that this pattern works pretty well that I use for Python toolboxes: place your code into a function with the named parameters, and then depending on how it's called, either take the command line arguments, or the parameters from ArcPy. You should be able to use this same pattern by detecting if you have any input command-line parameters (e.g. len(sys.argv)), and if so, use those, if not, default to the getParameters arguments. Something like this: import sys import arcpy def main(input_fc=None, output_fc=None):      # your main script body goes here # executed as a script if __name__ == '__main__':      if len(sys.argv) == 3:           # we were passed command line parameters, execute in a script context           input_fc=sys.argv[1]           output_fc=sys.argv[2]      else:           # if we don't have args passed on the command line, assume a toolbox context           input_fc=arcpy.GetParametersAsText(0)           output_fc=arcpy.GetParametersAsText(1)      # call the main function with our parameters      main(input_fc, output_fc) ...

I don't think it's possible using ArcPy directly. If you really needed it, you could call a DLL from a script tool which included the relevant ArcObjects code, but that's non-trivial to set up if you just wanted something simple. cheers, Shaun ... View more
