Yeah, but then you'd also need to write the code to parse the OBJ file, too. Which, if all you care about is basic stuff (vert positions, maybe normals), isn't that bad... the problem is that there isn't really a firm standard once things get fancier.
Also, the python api is significantly more complex than just invoking the abcExport command. Cask simplifies things... but if he wasn't aware of mayapy, I'm guessing it's still going to be more complicated than he's looking for.
