Not sure what you'd like to achieve, but perhaps the
map_molecule_chooser_gui is what you are looking for.
Something along the lines:
map_molecule_chooser_gui("This is what I'll do to your map",
lambda imol: my_map_manipulation_function(imol))
This brings up a map selector gui, the user selects the map, and you
do whatever you want with the imol picked up.
