Example of setting/getting the active tool? #6

Thank you so much for these awesome examples, your repo is the best source of info I have found on using python with Adobe ps. I've been trying to get and set the active Photoshop tool via python and I just don't think I have the syntax quite right because all the examples are in JavaScript. Does anyone happen to have an example of doing this in Python?

print(app.CurrentTool) gives you the string name of the current selected tool

and to select the tool, set the string name of the tool app.CurrentTool = 'cropTool'
