Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Marcus :)
Test snippet, with a node name ctrl with an animated float attr named anim,
and 3 poly cubes.
import pymel.core as pm
cache = pm.createNode('frameCache')
ctrl = pm.PyNode('ctrl')
time = pm.PyNode('time1')
cube_1 = pm.PyNode('pCube1')
cube_2 = pm.PyNode('pCube2')
cube_3 = pm.PyNode('pCube3')
time.outTime >> cache.varyTime
ctrl.anim >> cache.stream
cache.past[5] >> cube_1.ty
cache.past[10] >> cube_2.ty
cache.past[15] >> cube_3.ty
