Request: Python Editor Scripting access — "Enable Python" checked but disabled via CVar (v42.40)

Hi Epic team,

I’m building a UEFN island and would like to request access to Python Editor Scripting (early preview).

What I’ve done so far:

  • Tools menu → “Enable Python” is checked, and the editor was fully restarted.
  • The “Project Settings” menu does not appear in my editor (Edit only shows Editor Preferences), so I can’t reach the Beta Access section.

The log still shows on startup:
LogPluginManager: Mounting Engine plugin PythonScriptPlugin
LogPython: Python disabled via CVar ‘Engine.Python.IsEnabledByDefault’

Version: UEFN / Fortnite Ecosystem v42.40, Windows.

Use case: automating repetitive editor tasks (placing and configuring devices, linking @editable references, batch layout of player bases) for an island I plan to publish. This would cut my iteration time significantly.

Could you enable Python Editor Scripting for my account, or let me know if there’s an eligibility requirement or application process I should follow?

Thank you!

Could you take a picture of your editor? The project settings should ideally be here and should be accessible inside a normal UEFN
