Well, hopefully you already found the answer, but:
import maya.OpenMaya as om
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mel
selList = om.MSelectionList()
selList.add('persp.rotate')
myPlug = om.MPlug()
selList.getPlug(0, myPlug)
sCmds = []
myPlug.getSetAttrCmds(sCmds, om.MPlug.kAll, True)
print myPlug.name()
print sCmds
rotateMatch = createNode('transform')
select(rotateMatch)
mel.eval(sCmds[0])
... is that roughly what you were looking for?
In general, where the API docs ask for an MString, you can just
substitute in a string, and where they ask for an MString array, you
can substitute in a normal array. Huzzah!
For more unusual types / the odd situation, you'll have to resort to
OpenMaya.MScriptUtil to create 'pointer objects'.
