I'm trying to use a label expression with ArcGIS formatting tags to create a shadow on my text. I've done everything I need except assigning a value of 1 to X offset and a value of -1 to Y offset. Below is my code:

import arcpy

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"CURRENT")

df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers") [0]

updateLayer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "OCParcelsAPN selection", df) [0]

sourceLayer = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"L:GISLibraryScriptsPythonReference         LayersOCParcels_selection.lyr")

arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer(df, updateLayer, sourceLayer, True)



del sourceLayer



mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"CURRENT")

layer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd) [0]



if layer.supports("LABELCLASSES"):

    for lblclass in layer.labelClasses:

        lblclass.className = "ASSESSMENT"

        lblclass.expression = '"<FNT name=""Futura Md BT"" size=""6""> <CLR red=""255"" green=""255"" blue=""0"">" & [ASSESSMENT] & "</CLR> </FNT>"'

        lblclass.showClassLabels = True



        layer.showLabels = True



        arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

The way you are changing font, color and size is by using Text Formatting tags:

ArcGIS text formatting tags let you modify the formatting for a
portion of text. This lets you create mixed-format text where, for
example, one word in a sentence is underlined. Text formatting tags
can be used almost anywhere text is placed on or around the map in
ArcMap.

However, modifying shadow is not available within text formatting tags so I think you are up against an ArcPy limitation. You could submit an ArcGIS Idea for this, but if you do, I recommend targeting ArcGIS Pro's arcpy.mp rather than the arcpy.mapping module of the ArcGIS 10.x architecture.
