Hi,
Over the weekend it seems like something has happened, because now I cannot open any of the python scrips / nodes in grasshopper to edit anymore. Normally I double click, that is not working, right click and open script editor is not working either. Still, everything seems to run as normal. Seems a bit drastic to reinstall everything, so is there something I can try first?
Hei Eirik -
In a quick test here in a new file, I was experiencing the same thing.
I then ran the Rhino ScriptEditor command and let that initialize things.
When that was done, I dropped a new Py3 component on the canvas and when double-clicking that one, the editor opened as expected.
Could you give that a try?

@wim I tried running ScriptEditor in the Rhino Command window, but it does not seem like anything is happening, but perhaps that is normal. Anyway, still did not work to open a new Py3 node after. I saw there was an update available, so I installed that too, but that did not fix the issue either
Hei Eirik -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste its output here.

@ivy_harriet I did, but it is still not opening the editor…
@wim Seems like the issue may be related to rhino inside revit, at least, if I open Rhino normally (not rhino inside revit), and create a python node in grasshopper, then the editor opens. But the problem still remains when I use rhino inside revit and try to edit my python nodes.
Hi Eirik,
This could be a plugin conflict with a Revit app using a different python version that installed before RiR (first to load wins, although Revit 2025+ is better at handling these conditions)
Thank you @Japhy , if I run without other revit addins like you suggested, it works! So it seems like you hunch may be correct. However, it is not clear to me what I can do to fix the issue, other than identifying and uninstall the addin causing the problem. But is there anything I can do if I need the addin as well?
Not sure if this is helpful, but running in verbose mode, script editor is still not opening and this is the log: Rhino debugging error dialogs enabled. Use the “TestErrorCheck” command to adjust settings.

In Revit 2025.3 and above it ships with an addin manager to help troubleshoot/manage addins.
A 3rd party version for older versions of Revit Rhino.Inside®.Revit
Another thing to do is ensure all your Revit Addins are up to date.
@Japhy Thanks, I managed to identify the addin, so for now it is disabled and the script editor is working again. Can talk to the developers as it is an internal addin. Thank you so much for the help!
