Summary:
Node Groups sockets can't be created through python

Detailed description

There's no way to create a new in/external socket in the new node group system using group.inputs.new(internal_node.inputs[0]).

I created a patch (and passed it on to phonybone a while back) that had all the rna wrappers necessary to make these new group types good py-citizens but it didn't make it into the trunk commit and I seem to have lost my copy.

Probably just got missed somewhere along the line...

You can use the "new" and "expose" functions on group tree inputs and outputs to create new group sockets now. "nodetree.new(name, type)" creates a new unlinked group socket, while "nodetree.expose(socket)" makes a copy of the internal socket "socket" and adds an internal link to the new group socket.
