In Mechanical scripting how can I create a Named Selection that is scoped to a list of node numbers?

I have a list of node numbers in a CSV file. I would like to create a named selection with the node numbers, so that I can visualize where are these nodes located at the mesh.

Is this possible with Mechanical Scripting?

nodeIDs = [1,3,9]
ns = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.AddNamedSelection()
ns.ScopingMethod = ns.ScopingMethod.Worksheet
for nodeID in nodeIDs:
  criterion=Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.NamedSelectionCriterion()
  criterion.Action= criterion.Action.Add
  criterion.EntityType = criterion.EntityType.MeshNode
  criterion.Criterion = criterion.Criterion.NodeNumber
  criterion.Operator = criterion.Operator.Equal
  criterion.Value = nodeID
  ns.GenerationCriteria.Add(criterion)
ns.Generate()
