Set Parent node as current node

[CinnamonMetal]

if thisNode.parent():
    thisNode.setCurrent()

How do I set the current node to the parent node; or must I use setSelected ?

Hmm... Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but simply doing

>>> node = hou.node("/obj/geo1/file1")
>>> print node.isCurrent()
False
>>> node.setCurrent(on=True)
>>> node.isCurrent()
True
>>> parent = node.parent()
>>> parent.isCurrent()
False
>>> parent.setCurrent(on=True)
>>> parent.isCurrent()
True

Seem to work

I have a variable set to hou.pwd(); I want to set the parent node as the active node rather then the current node ?

If the current node has a parent, set it to the parent ?

@CinnamonMetal Please create a separate topic for all your Python questions, 

Thanks.

Same Question. 

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

Error 'on' is not defined ? This is for setting the node which is connected to the current node ?
