KeyError('node') using kwargs in python Module

[animknight]

Hey guys

I get a KeyError when I triy to declare a variable and set it to kwargs['node'] in the Python module section in my Digital asset. Why is this happening ?

Thanks

Python modules are tied to a node type, not an instance of a node. Depending on what you are trying to do, using hou.pwd() may work, though that is not guaranteed to return an instance of the node type. Usually you want to declare functions inside your Python Module and pass any nodes you want those functions to act on as parameters.

Thanks Graham. I was trying to pass the node instance as an argument to the class and use that in all the functions inside the class. Is there a way I can do this ? I tried using hou.pwd() but if my DA is locked then it returns the root '/'.
