I believe what you're seeing is a case where setting the default
value/state of certain nodes/knobs is deferred until the Properties panel
is open, which explains the different behaviour of your script when run
interactively in the script editor vs running it in terminal mode, or from
an external IDE.
To validate this difference in behaviour, you can check this (from the
script editor):
t = nuke.createNode("TimeClip", inpanel = False)
t["last"].setValue(20) # This won't stick, just as you're seeing in your
case
t2 = nuke.createNode("TimeClip")
t2["last"].setValue(20) # This works
I've noticed this on other nodes too, and it's indeed very obscure. The
only way I've found around it is to try to find what knobs are being set
differently, and set them manually in your script.
In the case of TimeClip, it seems like there's a invisible knob ("origset")
that seems to be driving this. So in this particular case, the following
might work both from an interactive and a non-interactive session:
t = nuke.createNode("TimeClip")
t["origset"].setValue(True)
t["last"].setValue(20)
Hope that helps!
