Why are you using tm=1? You just wanted templated nodes? I don't
understand what you're trying to accomplish.
Are you trying to add an attribute to a node so you can quickly retrieve it
later?
nodes = MC.ls("*.myAttribute", o=1) or []
This is a pretty common strategy for retrieving nodes you've 'tagged' for
some purpose.
