The cmds equivalent of MEventMessage is
cmds.scriptJob(event='idle', fn)
I haven't used it for a very long time but I think the fn might need to be
a string representing MEL code.
Or you might be better off with evalDeferred:
cmds.evalDeferrred('print "a"')
cmds.evalDeferrred('print "b"', lowPriority=True)
cmds.evalDeferrred('print "c"', lowestPriority=True)
None of this is exactly what you want, I know. I looked into it briefly
last year and didn't see any simple way to do it.
