Well, I don't know that it helps much for your particular situation, but
you might use the tempfile system in Python to get a file handle and
save to that instead. It still goes to a file, but that file is a
temporary file that will get deleted later.
As far as I can tell, there's no way to intercept the raw string of the
cmds.file operation before a save occurs. There is the MFileIO class in
the API, but that only gives you access to a limited subset of what's
available in cmds.file, so I don't see that as being a real help.
Now, depending on what you're trying to do, you *could* simply parse the
scene data itself, and store that in memory, and then you could do
whatever you want with it. At that point you're basically writing a
custom exporter that could output to a string, or whatever you want to
do with it.

Hi all,
I’m looking for a way to export similar to
|cmds.file(exportSelected=True)| but have the result of that export
remain in memory, so that I can parse the output.
I’d like to go from this.
1. Export ascii to disk
2. Read ascii from disk
3. Parse ascii
To this.
1. Export ascii
2. Parse ascii
It isn’t solving any burning issue at the moment, it’s more of a
curious enquiry. :) Any techniques are ok; no limits.
Any ideas?
