Change viewport renderer with Python API

[Andrew Golubev]

Hello everyone!

Stuck with some problem, using maya 2017, and i need to change viewport rendere to viewport 2.0, how can i do this with Python API?
Cannot find such option in documentation,

what i founded i can check what RendererName currently used as enum parameter of

M3dView  object of current viewport with getRendererName(), but there is no setRenderer , and i cannot change param directly without setter.

you could use mel function 

setRendererInModelPanel $gViewport2  your_model_panel   # viewport 2.0

setRendererInModelPanel $gLegacyViewport  your_model_panel  ;  # viewport 1.0

because the document said the Maya c++ api doest contains all function with maya，you must combine it with mel ，so I think it may like that

om.MGlobal.executeCommand("setRendererInModelPanel $gViewport2  your_model_pane")
