Okay. I didn't know that existed. I will look into it (although it looks
pretty straightforward, and very similar to MAXScript). Thanks Alan!
(BTW, is the object model just more accessible, or are particular
reasons why we should avoid using SetValue?)

Avoid SetValue() when possible. Use the object model instead:
c.Name = "Test"

Never mind... found it. I found that SetValue expects strings for
its arguments, so changing cName to:
cName = str(c)+".Name"
did the trick.

Okay. I'm trying to write my first SI script (using Python)...
and I actually got kinda lucky, because I found what I need
already scripted (ah, the joys of Googleland). I need to create a
cluster per each selected polygon on an object, and then
constraint Nulls to these clusters. This script works perfectly...
http://xsisupport.com/2012/03/17/python-example-constraining-nulls-to-components/
I'm now trying to extend the script snippet to be a little more
friendly to my needs. The first thing I'd like to do is specify
the name for the clusters created. So, I modified the loop to
read like this...
for i in si.Selection(0).SubElements:
c = o.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.AddCluster( clusterType,
"", [i] )
cName = c.Name
si.SetValue(cName, "Test", "")
n = si.ActiveSceneRoot.AddNull()
n.Kinematics.AddConstraint( "ObjectToCluster", c )
... but SI is barfing on the SetValue line. It claims that "the
parameter is incorrect". I know the problem is in the cName
reference I'm using, but I can't figure out how I need to feed it
properly. I know that cName's type is 'instance', so I'm not sure
how to reference it correctly. If anyone has any pointers into
how to get this working right, I'll be quite grateful.
The noob thanks you in advance.
