selections are references in python, so you will set a polygon selection this way :
sel = obj.GetPolygonS()
sel.Select(2)
changing the baseselect you got returned from GetPolygonS will also change the actual selection.

i've tried to do this:

main()

doesn't work, res is the variable containing the result returned by utils.SendModelingCommand and not a reference to the object in your object manager.
def main() :
obj = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube)
obj[c4d.PRIM_CUBE_LEN] = c4d.Vector(30,30,100)
res = utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT,
list = [obj],
mode = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_ALL,
bc = c4d.BaseContainer(),
doc = doc)[0]
sel = res.GetPolygonS()
sel.Select(2)
doc.InsertObject(res)
c4d.EventAdd()
this would be the shortest way. even if doc.SetActiveObject(res) would be a propper statement, it would have no impact on your further code as selecting an object does not have any impact on your further python code. Baseodocument.SearchObject() would be the method you would use to get an object from the objectmanager. it returns an baseobject you could modify.

how can i do a selection for one face of the cube using c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.ID_MODELING_LIVESELECTION,...
i can't figure it out

just use the last snippet i have posted, it will create a cube, scale it, convert it and select the face
with the index 2. please read the sdk, the python sdk is relative easy to understand despite some
weaknesses of it. i have explained the way selections are used within python, but you have actually
try to understand what i try to explain.

Littledevil, i always thanks you for your interest on my issue but using this code:
sel = res.GetPolygonS()
sel.Select(2)
doc.InsertObject(res)
c4d.EventAdd()
but I get this error:
c4d.BaseObject' object has no attribute 'GetPolygonS'
Infact i've searched in SDK and BaseObject has not that function

it is a member of c4d.polygonobject which inherits from c4d.baseobject. res in my given example
is always a polygonobject, so we don't have to check. but if you just allocate some baseobject
it won't work, just as you couldn't select a polygon on a parametric object within c4d.

the constructor of PolygonObject doesn't accept BaseoObjects as paramters, its parameters
are PolygonObject(pcnt, vcnt). but apart this fact we are meant to use BaseObject(type)
to allocate objects in c4d. a new polygon object should be created this way :
myPolygonObject = c4d.BaseObject(Opolygon)
read the c++ sdk baseoject description, it includes an extensive list of allocatable types in c4d.
and post your code or nobody will be able to help you.

It's very difficult to try to understand the sdk becouse is very little described and google/forum have very poor information about that and no examples around the net, but i'm understanding with big difficult and little by little.
