cqparts parameter access

I’d like to use a class parameter as the template param of the render_props function and defined it as following:

class Case(cqparts.Part):
    # Parameters
    color = String("green", doc="color-coded position")
    print(color)
    _render = render_props(template=color)

Unfortunately, it is not accessed like a str as it is expected by the template param and can be seen with the print statement (it prints: <cqparts.params.types.String object at 0x000002602F2ACBE0>). If I call render_props(template=color.default) it works but uses the default value and not the passed value. How to access the value passed as the class parameter?

In cqparts/tests/t_cqparts/test_params.py only default and casts are tested.

BTW: Using native types like str do not work as parameters.

It works now as expected. Many thanks!

OK @tolot27 , your 2nd code example should work after fix #140. Thank you for letting me know!
