ModelicaModel.getParameters returns values as string instead of float

[ondras12345]

Description

The documentation seems to indicate that the values of Real parameters should be returned as float:

>>> mod.getParameters()  // method-1
{'c': 0.9, 'radius': 0.1}

However, strings are returned in practice - something like this:

{'c': '0.9', 'radius': '0.1'}

Steps to Reproduce

I have added a test for this (currently failing) to my fork:
https://github.com/ondras12345/OMPython/blob/53fc10ded9a89d33238c529352bc01f989a80e80/tests/test_ModelicaSystem.py#L33-L46

Expected Behavior

Library behavior should match documentation.

Version and OS

• Python Version: 3.12.3
• OMPython Version: 5904e4e
• OpenModelica Version: 1.25.0
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

I might have a look at fixing this myself. However, I would someone to confirm whether changing the behavior to match the documentation would be acceptable. I guess it would technically break backwards compatibility.

@ondras12345 you are correct, it was a typos, But in general to keep the API consistent in OMjulia, OMPython and OMMatlab, we set the values as string and return the values as String, we do not perform any type checking, But however if you want to return with correct types, you can make a PR with your changes

Keeping the API consistent seems like a good reason. I will change the test to match current behavior.
