Hi Markus, You can walk up the filter pipeline from the python programmable filter like this:
filter = self while filter.GetInput(): filter = filter.GetInput().GetProducerPort().GetProducer() print filter.GetClassName() This is technique is also discouraged :) Filters should be self contained algorithms and that do not make assumptions about their upstream connections. But, if it works, it works!
