Derived from mel command maya.cmds.curveSketchCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# To create a new sketch context, which creates degree 3 curves:
pm.curveSketchCtx( "pencilContext", degree=3 )
# Result: u'pencilContext' #
pm.setToolTo("pencilContext")

# To query the degree of an existing context:
pm.curveSketchCtx( "pencilContext",q=True, degree=True )
# Result: 3 #

# To edit the degree of an existing context:
pm.curveSketchCtx( "pencilContext", e=True, degree=1 )
# Result: u'pencilContext' #
