Python API Create a skyDomeLight

I'm working on a tool that needs to create HDRI skydome lights for various render engine, one of which is Arnold. The API does not seem to have very solid documentation, or it is difficult to find.
I need a way to dynamically create an aiSkyDomeLight from a Python script. I need to create the SkyDomeLight and connect an HDRI file to it. How can I achieve this from python mtoa?

Thanks in advance.

There's no public API, but you could just do the same thing that we do in scripts\mtoa\ui\arnoldmenu.py
