How to extract Ids of all the nodes on a face (surface) using Python scripting

      I want to create a list of all the node ids on a surface.

      In APDL this would be
      asel,s,area,,68,, ! Selects Area-68
      nsla,s,1 ! Selects node on this area
      Then I get their ids

      How do I do same using Python scripting in mechanical? 
      Any help would be great
      Thank you.
