Better way to select a object by it's verts?

[I73]

selectedObject = cmds.ls( selection=True)

dagObject = selectedObject[0].split('.')[0]

cmds.select(dagObject)

Currently I am able to return the dag object by using a split method, is there a cleaner way of doing this?

Have a look at passing objectsOnly=True to the ls() function.

Unfortunately that does not work.

Sorry, I should have explained a little further. I need to start with selected objects verts from there I would like to grab the dag object from it's verts.

Hm, that should work. Here’s an example that works for me in Maya 2016.

cmds.file(new=True, force=True)
cmds.polyCube()
cmds.select("pCube1.vtx[0]")
dag_object = cmds.ls(sl=True, objectsOnly=True)
cmds.select(dag_object)

FFS I don't know why it did not work the first time but yes that did it. Thanks so much!!! 

dagObject = cmds.ls( selection=True, objectsOnly=True)

cmds.select(dagObject)
