Get robot/mechanism joint types through Python API

#1
Hey,

I am trying to get info about robot joint types through API. In documentation I only found thatJointLimits()3rd returned value should be type of robot/mechanism based on which I could deduce types of joints.

But it is not well documented what that value means and how to interpret it. Thought it should correspond to a flagMAKE_ROBOT_*in documentation but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Made this example station with robot arm, linear and rotational mechanisms and got the following numbers for joint types:
robot - 1
linear mechanism - 7
rotational mechanism - 7

Attached example station with which I got the result
