I'm trying to parent an armature to a mesh in python with obj.makeParent().  
The armature is created, the mesh is created.  The mesh even has vertex 
groups with the right names.  When I look at the OOPS schematic window, it 
shows the armature as the parent of the object just like if I was to do it 
manually.  The difference is when I do it through python, the armature won't 
deform the mesh, but if I do it manually, it will.  There is also that pop-up 
box when I do it manually asking about creating vertex groups and using the 
bone, armature, or armature object as the parent.  

The question is, am I doing something wrong, or is there a limitation in the 
code for making an armature a parent. 

Cheers,
