Changing the currently open tab in graph editor with Python

I’m developing an add-on, that sits in the graph editor. I’ve just upgraded to Blender 2.78 and saw that the panel is divided into different tabs (View, Modifiers, F-Curve, etc.). My add-on is placed in its own tab (mmvt). How can I change the currently open tab to be my tab (in code)?


If you know the answer, there is an open bounty on this question in blenderstackexchange.
