	__constants section, for max/min values: PARAMETER_NAME_MAX_VALUE = 5, PARAMETER_NAME_MIN_VALUE= 3.1415926...
	__getter*
	__setter*
	__deleter*
	__validator (if numerical value)
	__constructor:     def __init__(self,...,parameter_name = ""):

*Once you've made the variable, pyDev can add all these automatically using the "add properties" option in the context menu.
