Proxy to python object within pivy

[miguel tejada]

There are any way to make proxy to python object in pivy?

When I get a node from pivy space, i need to recover the python object that contains other properties not included in the node, but the node is not the reference to the object. 

from pivy import coin

root = coin.SoSeparator()

node = coin.SoSeparator()

node.prop = "hello" #add custom property to python SoSeparator object

root.addChild(node)

noderec = root[0] 

hasattr(nodrec,'prop') # return False

hasattr(node, 'prop') # return True

I found a partial solution, that is bassed on store the "id" of python object as name of the object, and after recover it:

objid = '_' + hex(id(node)) # I add '_' at name start to avoid invalid type issue

node.setName(objid)

#

#

noderec = root[0]

objid = noderec.getName().getString()[1:]   #remove '_' from name

pynode = ctypes.cast(objid, ctypes.py_object).value

hasattr(pynode,'prop') # return True

This solution goes well, but I think that there must be a more efficient method tahat does not use the name field. Please, help me!
