You are not the first nor last to wish that Poser had better Python API access to all of its features. I've had a long-term project writing a package for Poser Python containing various modules which fill in some of those gaps. One such is a PoserPrefs module, which parses Poser's own preferences file (Poser.ini on windows or PoserPrefs on macOS) to extract the information stored there, including the very setting you're looking for.
Like all things Poser and Python, this is a somewhat complicated process, in order to give the user full flexibility to create and use their own, task-specific preference files, while still making use of Poser's own configuration, such as what unit scale the user has selected, or what library folder was last written to.
I must actually express my thanks to @pikesPit for this question, as it has finally prompted me to pull my finger out and write sufficient documentation to release a compiled version of the consummation of my efforts since 2014. PoserLib contains a PoserPrefs module which can parse Poser's own preferences and load and save user preference files in the same format.
Verbosity: Profusely promulgating Graham's number epics of complete and utter verbiage by the metric monkey barrel.
