Getting the Latitude of Origin for a spatial reference

Greetings,

I'm using Python to extract the parameters of projected coordinate systems but I'm finding that the SpatialReference object does not have a .latitudeOfOrigin property that I need to extract.

When I look at the projection parameters in ArcMap the latitude of origin is there but I cannot find where to access that value in the SpatialReference object. I can get all of the other parameters but this seems to be missing.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks
