How can I reset the cursor in the UV Editor with Python?

Question

Observing the manual informs that it is possible to reset the projection but could not reset the position of the cursor in the UV Map.

bpy.ops.uv.cursor_set(location=(0.0, 0.0))

Location, Cursor location in normalized (0.0-1.0) coordinates

Are you looking for python solution or is this question about how to do it with UI? — kheetor, Apr 26 '18 at 12:46
Most likely you have a poll error. You cannot run uv operators directly from the text editor or python console. Related https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/46903/how-to-view-python-error-messages — batFINGER, Apr 12 '19 at 19:49

It is possible to adjust cursor from another context with the following snippet:

import bpy
ob = bpy.context.active_object
for area in bpy.context.screen.areas:
    if area.type == 'IMAGE_EDITOR':   #find the UVeditor
        cursor = area.spaces.active.cursor_location   # get cursor location
        area.spaces.active.cursor_location.x = 0.5*1024;
        area.spaces.active.cursor_location.y = 0.5*1024;

Because you want to normalize in the (0.0,1.0) interval you will have to actually multiply this with the texture size (in my example hardcoded 1024 number).

Similarly for the 'UV_EDITOR' the cursor coordinates are in uv. — batFINGER, Apr 12 '19 at 19:45
