The rigs module has a base class called RigBase

class rig.rigBase.BaseModel(*args, **kwargs)

class rig.rigBase.RigBase(*args, **kwargs)

set_parent(rig_object, **kwargs)

This is the default function to parent modules, when you set parent an object it will look for the root on the dictionary attachments. If this has not being asigned the default value will be the first elementq of the list rig_reset_controls. So you can asign what ever point you want to be the driver of all the rig or let the rig find it by itself. :param rig_object: object or rig that you expect to be the parent of the module. :return:
