mighty_constraint_locators.py

##### Procedure to constraint a locator to all the selected controls
#### You might want to customize section 1 to group your constraints where required by your pipeline

#### TODO
#### Naming of the constraints doesn't work properly => issue for mighty_locators_to_CTRLs.py
### seems to be a problem with the namespace, works fine without Namespace

## create the Constraint Locators group if it doesn't already exists
