Derived from mel command maya.cmds.renderSettings

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Get the name of the first and last image for the current layer
fl = pm.renderSettings(firstImageName=True, lastImageName=True)
print( 'First image is '+fl[0] )
# This is the empty string if the scene is not set for animation
if fl[1] == '':
    print('Not rendering animation');
else:
