Thanks all for your information... I tried all those things suggested
and i couldn't get any of those things to work. I'm not sure if its
because I'm using Maya 2009, but I experimented with other things to
try to fix my problem. The only other solution i got to work was
replacing timeSlider=True in the mc.keyFrame with time=(0, 1000).
Thanks again.

import maya.cmds as mc
#create sphere
mc.polySphere(ch=True,o=True, r=5)
#key sphere in diffrent time
mc.currentTime(5, edit=True )
mc.setKeyframe("pSphere1")
mc.currentTime(10, edit=True )
mc.setAttr("pSphere1.translateY", 5)
mc.setKeyframe("pSphere1")
mc.currentTime(0, edit=True )
#getting first and last key
firstKey = mc.findKeyframe(time=(0, 1000), which='first')
lastKey = mc.findKeyframe(time=(0, 1000), which='last')
print firstKey
print lastKey
firstKey = mc.findKeyframe(timeSlider=True, which='first')
lastKey = mc.findKeyframe(timeSlider=True, which='last')
