changing parent with Python: nothing happens?

[kritskiy.001]

First of all, it's awesome to see Python implementation in 3d Coat — it's so, so so much easier to dive into for mere mortals than AS and C.

I'm struggling with something: I'm trying to change parent for selected volumes from Root to an object with index 0 and while the console prints out correct values nothing happens in the scene: the parents don't change. My scene consists of 4 simple sphere volumes, two bottom ones are selected (selecting one doesn't make difference)

Code:

import coat

def main():
	root = coat.Scene.sculptRoot()
	new_parent = root.child(index = 0)
	selected = []

	def walker(el):
		if el.selected():
			selected.append(el)

	root.iterateVisibleSubtree(walker)
	print(f"selected elements: {selected}") # correctly outputs coat.SceneElement objects

	for el in selected:
		print(f"changing parent: {el.name()} from {el.parent().name()} to {new_parent.name()}") # prints out correct names
		el.changeParent(newParent = new_parent) # nothing happens
			
main()

Please let me know what am I missing.

Thanks!
