Here is the dictionnary to put at the beginning of your code to have tooltip, icon and variables inside a popup:

info = {
    'icon' : 'SORTALPHA',
    'description' : 'Rename active object in something',
    'name' : 'Some name',
    'enum' : {'value': '3', 'items': ['1', '2', '3', '4']},
    'int' : 2,
    'path' : '/temp',
    'bool' : False,
    'float' : 2.0,
    'collection' : {'value': 'object', 'collection': 'Object'},
