Python Palette not showing

Josh Verran
Advisor

As per the link below, I have installed the latest version of python.
I've then opened Archicad 26 (also 25), gone into the Work Environment > More options and enabled the python palette under experimental features.
When I navigate to Window > Palettes, the Python palette does not show.
Have closed and opened AC but get same result.
Any suggestions?

I had the same problem with AC 25 and AC26.

To show the palette I had to add it manually in the Work Environment / Management - Pallets. See screenshot below (Swiss version):

Python palette is usually at the very bottom of the list . Did you double check that it hasn't scrolled off the screen? Also check that Python,exe is in your Path?

I must have put the above on the back burner and forgot about it.
I tried again today in AC27 and got same issue (Enabled palette under experimental features).

Manually adding the Python Palette option to the Menu worked thou.
