help(gravity.parameters) raises exception

[LourensVeen]

Describe the bug The book says to use help(gravity.parameters) to show help for the parameters of a gravity code. If I do that (with Python 3.13, but I'm not sure that that's relevant), I get an exception instead of help.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

from amuse.community.brutus import Brutus
b = Brutus()
help(b.parameters)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-3>", line 1, in <module>
    help(b.parameters)
    ~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "<frozen _sitebuiltins>", line 103, in __call__
  File "/home/lourens/.miniconda3/envs/amuse-mpreal/lib/python3.13/pydoc.py", line 1992, in __call__
    self.help(request)
    ~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/lourens/.miniconda3/envs/amuse-mpreal/lib/python3.13/pydoc.py", line 2053, in help
    else: doc(request, 'Help on %s:', output=self._output, is_cli=is_cli)
          ~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/lourens/.miniconda3/envs/amuse-mpreal/lib/python3.13/pydoc.py", line 1759, in doc
    what = getattr(thing, '__qualname__', None)
  File "/home/lourens/NLeSC/projects/ReDiTSAp/software/amuse_lourens/src/amuse/datamodel/parameters.py", line 38, in __getattr__
    raise exceptions.CoreException(
    ...<2 lines>...
    )
amuse.support.exceptions.CoreException: tried to get unknown parameter '__qualname__' for a 'Brutus' object

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of which parameters exist and what they mean.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS and version: Kubuntu 22.04
• Compiler: N/A

Additional context Looking at parameters.py:35, there's two commented-out lines that seem like they could solve the problem, and indeed it works if I enable them again. Unfortunately there's no comment to explain why they're commented out, so I'm not sure if that breaks something else.

Specific for Brutus? Or also other community codes? We should probably make a unittest for this.
