Otherwise, a call to plug.parent() on a non-compound plug will error out. For example: <pre class="code">def compute(self, plug, dataBlock): if ( plug == customNode.out or (plug.isChild() and plug.parent() == customNode.out )): # Do cool stuff</pre> As a note, if your command contains multiple attributes, some of which are compound and some of which are not, you should include a further test.
