If you don't know something you can drag and drop it into the Python Shell and obtain it's path. From there you can also assign that path to a variable then use standard Python print dir(my_var) to determine properties and methods.

Don't look for the name, look for the type.

This is the code for the For loop, for example.

import soptoolutils
import toolutils
(begin, end) = soptoolutils.buildBlockPair(kwargs, 'repeat', 'block_begin', 'block_end', False)
end.parm('itermethod').set('count')
