import pymel.core as pm

# Create a particle context, then switch to it
pm.dynParticleCtx('dynParticleCtx1')
pm.setToolTo('dynParticleCtx1')

# Now you can create particles by mouse clicking
# After creating several particles, we switch to edit mode
pm.ctxEditMode()

# Traverse in the created particles
pm.ctxTraverse(left=True)
pm.ctxTraverse(left=True)
pm.ctxTraverse(right=True)
