Returns:

python data wrapped by this plugin data object

Raises:

RuntimeError - if the data object's id is unknown to this class

Notes:

the python data should be made such that it can be changed using the reference we return - otherwise it will be read-only as it is just a copy !
the data retrieved by this method cannot be used in plug.msetMObject(data) as it is ordinary python data, not an mobject
