Hi guys,

According to the API, the PoseBone object has a member called “parent” which links to the parent of the bone, however, this member doesn’t seem to exist … has it been removed? If so, why?

Thanks a lot.

Hi didu, its read only.
Pose.c 1115:

{"parent", (getter)PoseBone_getParent, (setter)NULL, 
    "The bones parent (read only for posebones)", NULL},

^^ which version of blender is that? I know it’s read only and I wasn’t not trying to modify it at all. I did a dir() on the PoseBone objects and the “parent” field didn’t show up at all. I’m using 2.42 by the way. It’s not a huge problem, just a minor inconvienence.
