Hi. Did you make sure to check the docs for the select command? There is an equivalent python version of the docs for every Mel command 


This shows usage examples at the bottom, which in this case would show you how to pass boolean options. 

So it would look something like 

    import maya.cmds 

    maya.cmds.select("sphere1", hireachy=True)

A small typo in that example, hireachy should be hierarchy.

import maya.cmds 

maya.cmds.select("sphere1", hierarchy=True)

Also here’s the page with examples for all Maya commands.

What did you try and what was the issue?
