I see that FindSceneHook() has been added to R13 so we can set the project settings now.
I'm converting my C++ project settings code to python. But the only ones I can't figure out how to write are the two Dynamics cache buttons.

Example:

import c4d  
def main() :  
  
  sh = doc.FindSceneHook(180000100)  
  c4d.CallButton(doc,c4d.WORLD_CACHE_BAKE)  #Does not work  
  c4d.CallButton(doc,c4d.WORLD_CACHE_CLEAR) #Does Not work  
    
  c4d.EventAdd()  
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

Are these buttons supported?
If so...How do we execute them?

Never Mind. I managed to figure it out.

import c4d  
def main() :  
    
  sh = doc.FindSceneHook(180000100)   
  c4d.plugins.FindPlugin(c4d.PLUGINTYPE_SCENEHOOK)  
  c4d.CallButton(sh, c4d.WORLD_CACHE_BAKE)   #Executes the Bake button  
  c4d.CallButton(sh, c4d.WORLD_CACHE_CLEAR)  #Executes the Clear button  
  c4d.EventAdd()      
    
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

eh, sould have looked here first, i have answered the cgtalk post already, but IMHO your first
example is already almost correct, but you have to pass sh instead of doc. the script won't throw
an error, as doc a BaseDocument is also a BeseList2D, but CallButton expects the object which
contains the id passed as the second parameter, so you have to pass sh. it makes no sense to
define sh and then not not to use it.

the same goes for c4d.plugins.FindPlugin(c4d.PLUGINTYPE_SCENEHOOK) (plus this line doesn't
really make any sense to me, does this actually return a BaseList2D ?). also EventAdd() isn't
necessary in that case.

shortest form would be :

c4d.CallButton(doc.FindSceneHook(180000100), c4d.WORLD_CACHE_BAKE)

Now I can't figure out how to change any of the Key Interpolation settings.

    sh = doc.FindSceneHook(180000100)  
  sh[c4d.TLWORLD_OVERDUB]=True  #Does Nothing!  
  c4d.EventAdd()

180000100 is only the id to the MographDynamics hook if i am not mistaken, you have to get the id
of the Key Interpolation Tab from the ressource folder i think.

edit :

the c4d console says for KeyInterpolation :

[OK] KeyInterpolation
<c4d.BaseList2D object called 'Key Interpolation/Key Interpolation' with ID 465001535 at 0x10B54050>

i haven't tested / i am not quite sure if this is the correct id to get the hook.

Thanks. That is the correct ID#.

Here's a list of how to change all of the Project Settings:
