Parent as Selected

[CinnamonMetal]

paren = thisNode.parent()
if paren == 0:
   print(paren)
else:
    paren.setSelected(on,clear_all_selected=True)

If the current node has a parent, set the parent as the current selected node; it's unfortunately not working ? 

[symek]

parent = thisNode.parent()
if parent:
   parent.setSelected(True)

Checking if parent exists in your code makes me suspicious about your goal though. Are you actually interested in hierarchy selection or network selection? Above code returns a network which contains a node: so for /obj/geo1 it will return /obj. For the ancestors nodes you have to use parents = thisNode.inputs()

I wanted the hierarchy selection.  

inputs() retrieves the the parent node, which I thought was the node above, the PythonSOP.  The parent node is the first node in the hierarchy. 

How do I get the node which in this case is the node one up before the PythonSOP ? As well setInput() doesn't accept index number ?
