category	A hou.NodeTypeCategory object (not a string). You can use the `hou.nodeTypeCategories()` function to get a dict of category name strings to `NodeTypeCategory` objects.
name	The internal name of a node type. To get the internal name of any node type in Houdini, right-click a node of that type and choose Type properties. The internal name is listed at the top of the type properties window beside Operator type. For example, the internal name of the Geometry object is `geo`.
