Hey Eric,

How about using a plug-in to manage your custom menu ?

If your module contains a plug-in, you would include the commands for
creating your custom menu in the initializePlugin() function (and the
commands for removing it in the uninitializePlugin() function)

If your module doesn't contain a plug-in you might want to create a python
plug-in with the sole purpose of managing your custom menu as mentioned
above. I just tried this in Maya 2015 and it works.

The Plug-in Manager provides a simple UI for (re)loading/removing your
custom menu. All the artist has to do is set the plug-in to Autoload and
they're done, no scripting required.
