it's possible to use pymel for get root.
pm.selected()[0].root().
I use to function for get parent by type.
The first it's for get all parent of my node.
The second it's for check type of parent and break when i found my type.
It's possible to transform this function for works with particular
attribute or other system.
It's easy to add check selection (if is root, selection number, etc, etc).
