Sorry Giampiero, you're just guessing, and you're guessing wrong.  The
original poster's code was correct*.  Dieter's suggestion is a better
approach to troubleshoot this problem.


*well, almost correct. There's a common Python mistake on one line:

 copy_info = obj_parent.manage_cutObjects((context.getId()))
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You think you're creating a tuple there, but you're not.
To create a tuple of size 1, you need a trailing comma:

 copy_info = obj_parent.manage_cutObjects((context.getId(),))

But that's not causing your problem; manage_cutObjects() "helpfully"
wraps a string argument in a tuple for you.
