Using PyScripter with ArcGIS Pro

You can easily setup PyScripter to work with ArcGIS Pro.  Since ArcGIS Pro is a 64bit application you need to have Windows 64 bits.  Make sure you have installed PyScripter 64bits.

• Install ArcGIS Pro.  I have used a single user installation and the product was installed in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\Pro.
• Start PyScripter 64bit v 3.4,2
• Go to the Python Versions dialog (Run, Python Versions, Setup Python..)
• Add a new version pressing the + button and select the path C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3
• Activated the new unregistered version and pressing the first button
• If you get a firewall notification allow the connection and voila

In case the Firewall is an issue:

Go to Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Defender Firewall\Customise Settings and make sure the "Notify me when Windows Defender blocks a new app" is checked. It is checked by default.
