How to create a Double Sided material

I created a short script that does the job. First the visual candy:

The script code can be found at:

jesterKing/rhipy/blob/master/create_doublesided_rendermaterial.py

import System
import Rhino.Display
import Rhino.Render

import scriptcontext
import random

# get object selection
object_selection = [ob for ob in scriptcontext.doc.Objects if ob.IsSelected(False)]

# only if we have a selection do the work
if object_selection:
    # create material
    render_material = Rhino.Render.RenderContent.Create(
        System.Guid("E6CD1973-B739-496E-AB69-32957FA48492"),
        Rhino.Render.RenderContent.ShowContentChooserFlags.None,
        scriptcontext.doc)
    render_material.BeginChange(Rhino.Render.RenderContent.ChangeContexts.Program)
    render_material.Name = "Double-Sided Material " + System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()

The literate program from which the script was created: https://jesterking.github.io/rhipy/create_doublesided_rendermaterial.html . This explains the workings in more detail.
