Hi there.

I want to make a pypanel for a node and I need to show the same tool tips that parameters on the original houdini UI have.
I can't find anywhere how to read a help string from the given parm.
Is it even possible?
Thanks.

I don't know for what reason the hou.Parm type doesn't have the ability to call the help() method, but it can be called on the hou.ParmTuple type.

hou.parm("...").tuple().help()
