It was the wierd way ikHandles affect joints without a connection ikHandle
-> Joint that baffled me here. To get it I needed to search downstream from
the hairSystem to find the ikHandle, then upstream to find the joint, and
then downstream to find the mesh
for hairSystem in pm.ls(type="hairSystem"):
for ikHandle in hairSystem.future(type="ikHandle"):
for joint in ikHandle.inputs(type="joint"):
for mesh in joint.future(type='mesh'):
print "%s is affected by dynamic system %s" % (mesh,
hairSystem)
