This code snippet also works for conveyors.

@Sudheer Reddy,

EDIT: Matthew's method is much better, but I'll leave this here in case you want to change the location or orientation of the paths as well.

To switch the direction of the path, you change the spatialrz value by 180 degrees and adjust the location by the length of the path. I set this up in the example model attached. The path has a length of 10 and is initially set at an x location of 0, so by running the script shown in the image below, it switches the direction 180 degrees while maintaining it's location in 3D space.
