When trying to use RasterInfo to pass the pixel type value of raster tiles that will be fed into the arcpy MosaicToNewRaster function, an error results because the string value stored in RasterInfo does not match the values expected in MosaicToNewRaster. For example, with a 32-bit float raster, can we please have either a Raster object's pixel type value be '32_BIT_FLOAT' or have MosaicToNewRaster be able to read in '32F' in this case ? Or better yet, can MosaicToNewRaster be able to infer pixel type (and band count for that matter) as it is able to infer spatial reference and cell size?

# Assign variable to raster's pixelType property
string_pixel_type = rasInfo.getPixelType()
# Assign variable to raster's bandCount property
string_band_count = rasInfo.getBandCount()
