Ah, I see what you're talking about. When a CascadingEnumeration_Knob is created as a result of a script load, looking it up on a node returns an Enumeration_Knob instead. The two knob types are definitely distinct in the Nuke script though. I've seen this occur in the past with other knob types (Int_Knob is one that comes to mind), and I've reported it to support.

Hi Nathan,

thanks for your reply!
I guess I had the knobClass hardcoded yesterday when it worked in the script editor. You're right the return value is 'Enumeration_Knob'. With .__class__ I don't need getattr, that's cool! But I still only get an Enumeration_Knob object. Is there any simple way of knowing that it is a CascadingEnumeration_Knob?

thanks
cheers
Patrick

If you check the return value of .Class(), it returns 'Enumeration_Knob'.
Since you're in Python, you should grab the actual class object to ensure
proper typing.

knobCls = someKnob.__class__
myKnob = knobCls(someKnob.name(), someKnob.label(), someKnob.values())

Subject: [Nuke-python] getattr and CascadingEnumeration_Knob

Hey,

I was searching for a way to dynamically create knobs of a type I don't know
in advance. What I found is getattr and currently I'm using it like this:

myKnobClass=someKnob.Class()
myName=someKnob.name()
myValues=someKnob.values()
myKnob=getattr(nuke, myKnobClass)(myName,myName,myValues)

this does exactly what I want in the script editor. However I use it in a
function in a python panel class (which should then add the knob to that
python panel). This works for most knobs aswell. But when creating a
CascadingEnumeration_Knob, I don't get the cascading style, but entries with
a slash e.g. "FirstCategory/FirstEntry".

I really have no clou why this happens, would be cool if someone has an idea

cheers
Patrick
