Most setting changes will be reflected in the script editor's output. So:

setAttr "miDefaultOptions.maxSamples" 2;

could become:

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.setAttr('miDefaultOptions.maxSamples', 2)

The Python syntax is often very similar and easy to convert.

You could use the "getAttr" command to check a value, and change it if
needed, or simply force each parameter to be what you'd like without a
check. There are examples given in Maya's python documentation (at the
bottom of each command's page).

Sometimes you will not get a result in the script editor when changing
settings. Often enabling 'echo all commands' from the script editor's
History menu will garner a result.

Cheers,

Christopher
