Blender Python select object within same group?

Question

I am using Python to create some shapes in blender. I want to group these shapes together and use the following code to do that:

 import bpy

 bpy.ops.group.create(name= "NewGroup")
 bpy.ops.object.group_link(group="NewGroup")
 For i in range (1,3,1):
    tempobject = bpy.data.objects["Cube" + str(i)]
    bpy.context.scene.objects.active=tempobject
    bpy.ops.object.group_link(group="NewGroup")

When I try to select a group so I can join them to an active object:

 host_object = bpy.data.objects["Cube1"]
 bpy.context.scene.objects.active=host_object
 bpy.ops.object.select_same_group(group="NewGroup")

 bpy.ops.object.join() # all selected objects join to active object

it doesn't select any objects within the group.

Answer 1

You should be using

bpy.context.scene.objects['objName'].select

before calling select_same_group . Hope it helps.

Answer 2

You have an uppercase 'For' that should be 'for' as @Antoni4040 mentioned in the comments.

If this is not the problem, please paste the error.
