Python - Set Take render state

[j_vogel]

Just wondering if/how I could set the render state of a take which I create with python:

Is it possible to set it to enabled somehow? Did not find anything in the documentation.

Okay I searched for the wrong terms I think. I found it:

TakeName.SetChecked(True)
