Custom Pynodes: Not getting the correct value from the in socket

Question

I created a custom pynode intended to multiply vectors. This script is based on the vid from Atom and various code I found on the internet and the blender wiki pages.

The problem I am having is that I can not get correct input values from the socket which is inserted. Added on top of that I do not have the feeling it is updating correctly. A simple setup with only values (math nodes + combine xyz) and print commands in the nodes proofs that it is only getting value (0,0,0).

What am I doing wrong?

I noticed some remarks on not getting updates on nodes but a simple setup should work.

    bl_idname = 'MultTreeType'
    bl_label = 'Mult Node Tree'

    @classmethod
    def poll(cls, ntree):
        b = False
        if ntree.bl_idname == 'ShaderNodeTree': b = True
        return b

    '''A custom node'''
    bl_idname = 'MultNodeType'
