Python: Return list of selected compositing nodes

[TwirlySocrates]

Thanks for your sample code... would you have anything that works in Soft 2012?
I tried using the attribute "selection" and it's only returning 'None'

I know, forget about that snippet, it was just a shot in the dark hoping to find some consistency with similar views, but it doesn't work.

As Luc-Eric said, the selected nodes view attribute was only added in 2014. Prior versions, you're out of luck.

Alrighty. Thank you.

so.. why do you want that selection, what were you going to do with it

I'm doing a lot of repetitive tasks in comp.

Some of these tasks would include:
* Arrange selected nodes in an evenly spaced horizontal line.
* Comp selected nodes together using "over" nodes at .5 opacity
* Comp selected nodes together using "over" nodes at 1.0 opacity

It's easy to do by hand, but when you have to do it all day, it would be easier to script.
