I am trying to create an HDA with dynamic Python menus. I can access parameters from nodes, but I don't know how to access attributes.

This works and prints out the appropriate value
geo = hou.node('/obj/geo/pythonMenu/box')
test = geo.parm('tx')
print test.eval()

Using an Attribute Wrangler I created a string, from some primitive attributes.
s@prim = detailintrinsic(0,“primitiveattributes”);

prim contains

I want to use prim in a for loop to populate the menu

I need to generate a string like

token = 0
menu
for x in prim:
menu.append
menu.append

I tried geo.attribValue("prim'), from a forum post. But, attribValue is not a valid method.

I attached the project, but the main issue is how to interact with attributes with python.

Hi there!

“attribValue” is a method from hou.Geometry class. so you need to get the attribValue from the node Geometry instead of the node.
This should give what you're looking for.
Hope it helps
