curveEPCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The curveEPCtx command creates a new context for creating curves by
placing edit points.

# To query the degree of an existing context:
cmds.curveEPCtx( 'curveEPCtx1', q=True, degree=True )
# To edit the degree of an existing context:
cmds.curveEPCtx( 'curveEPCtx1', e=True, degree=7 )
