Be aware that Pythonscript and N++ 7.7 64 bits are currently incompatible if you have any scripts that use notifications (maybe that’s a rare use for most people that even touch Pythonscript).

pssst, Alan, are you there?

@Ekopalypse

Ummmm…yes?

@Alan-Kilborn

how do you use PS? With local python installation?

@Ekopalypse

With local python installation?

I’m sorry but I don’t know what that means. :(

@Alan-Kilborn

python comes with python27.dll but you can use a local python installation if
you go to plugins->pythonscript->configuration and check prefer installed python …
Of course, you would do this only, if you have python installed locally.
If this is the case, then this might be of interest for you.

Oh, yes, now I recall that. I have never felt the need to do that because the only Python 2.7 I’ve ever had on my system is the one that comes with Notepad++'s Pythonscript. Everything else I do is (and is mandated by my company to be done in) Python3!

@andrecool-68 Thanks for that. I will give it a try. (I use 32bit NPP anyway, so the 64bit incompatibility will not be an issue).

@andrecool-68 Just tried this and it didn’t work.
My Notepad++/plugins folder already contains the PythonScript.dll and PythonScript folder, but I went and tried doing the minimal update of 7.7 and PythonScript plugins disappears. I repeated this process, going backwards through versions of NPP, i.e. 7.6.6, 7.6.4, and its only when 7.6.2 is installed that the PythonScript plugin re-appears.

@Yodadude

that sounds strange, indeed.
How did you install 7.7?
Can you post the debug-info from the ? menu (the last menu item of npp)?

Which tells me that your copy of PythonScript (PythonScript.dll) is at plugins\PythonScript.dll, which was the old location for NPP < v7.6.3, rather than at plugins\PythonScript\PythonScript.dll, for NPP >= v7.6.3. Please follow @Meta-Chuh 's “Guide: How to install the PythonScript plugin on Notepad++ 7.6.3, 7.6.4 and above”

That worked a treat!

Thanks.
