How to switch between Arnold GPU and CPU render device in Maxscript

Hi all, as the title suggests how can I switch between GPU/CPU render device via Maxscript (this is in Render Setup > System > Device).

Even with the listener enabled, it doesn't give you the call to make.

this should work

rc = renderers.current
-- one of these...
rc.gpu_rendering = not rc.gpu_rendering
rc.gpu_selection = 1
rc.gpu_auto_selection = true

You probably have to close the render dialog before making any changes.

Sorry, it is in fact

rc.render_device = 1
