Get value of universal gas constant

[ghost]

Hi,
I'm using CoolProp 5.0.4 with Python.
Is there way, using the wrapper functions, to get the value of universal gas constant that CoolProp uses?
(Couldn't find any in the documentation; had to to look in the source to find out it is 8.314472J/molK)

Yup, I'll fix this, you should be able to get the gas constant through the
PropsSI function, I'll make that change, and it will show up in version
5.0.5 of CoolProp. Not all fluids use exactly 8.314472 J/mol/K, so it is
important to be able to get it back out.

This should work now:

double Ru1 = PropsSI("gas_constant","T",300,"P", 101325,"Water");

or

double Ru1 = Props1SI("Water","gas_constant");
