reparentTo vs attachNewNode

What is the difference between the two?

attachNewNode takes a PandaNode (and returns a NodePath pointing to the node), while reparentTo works with NodePaths. That’s the only difference, I think.

Thank you!

Technically:

np2 = np1.attachNewNode('abc')

is exactly equivalent to:

np2 = NodePath('abc')
np2.reparentTo(np1)
