With Python I have noticed to be a bit more picky with parameters. In
e.g. if you run a loop to return the name of all the parameters under a
given object, lets say a Pass object, all you'll get is a Name
Parameter. To access RenderOptions or Partition data, you actually have
to use the NestedObjects Property. So this might be what your actually
looking for.
