Python script editor not opening on Mac.

Mac OS catalina. I say "create script", indicate Python, then say Edit. Nothing happens.

 

I saw posts about downgrading the Python plug-in in VS code. Maybe I missed something, but where does it say that VS code is even the editor? And downgrading didn't work anyway. Is any of this documented? Not the API, it's well documented. The editor setup though. Which editor? Are there options? How does it all work? It's hard to troubleshoot without information.

 

FWIW, I can use VS Code or Spyder (4.1.2), or whatever is needed. Prefer Spyder. But I need to get *something* to work.

 

It would be nice to have a section on "running the sample code", with a working example for each OS.

It turns out that regressing the version of the Python plug does work, the trick is to restart both VS code and Fusion 360. It wasn't enough just to restart VS code.

 

The comments about having better documentation still stands. Also, the Python plugin version requested is pretty old, it would good to update Fusion 360 to use the newer plugin
