If you want the compass to rotate with the viewpoint you can create a link and set the mask to orientation only. If you want the compass yaw to be the opposite of the viewpoint use the link.swapEuler command:
Code:
import viz
import vizshape
viz.go()

viz.add('dojo.osgb')

compass = vizshape.addArrow()
compass.setPosition([0,0.5,0])
compassLink = viz.link(viz.MainView,compass,mask=viz.LINK_ORI)

#Negate yaw value
#compassLink.swapEuler([-1,2,3])

subWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=[0.5,1])
subWindow.setSize(0.5,0.5)
view = viz.addView()
view.move([0,-1,-4])
subWindow.setView(view)
