This look horrible !
and even mel is really the old, inefficient way of doing things : call
commands
Hopefuly object have properties and the plugin API make it efficient
like in xsi. But that's only in c++...

Sorry for being way off topic.
it looks like that
objs = cmds.ls( type= 'transform')
cmds.setAttr( *args , **{ 'type' : 'stringArray' } )
print cmds.getAttr ( x + ".newAt" )
Basically you use cmds. module all the time to invoke mel commands,
personally I am not smart enough to find out how to use it in more
object oriented way and code in python for most cases is no different
than mel code, maybe more experienced users find it more usable.
My colleague at work uses library called pymel (by luma pictures), it
makes things a little bit more organized (more object oriented), never
used it personally tho.

I think the fact that Python is a wrapper around MEL is important as
far as performance and features go. If all (or almost) MEL features
are supported in Python and they perform at same rate, then the simple
fact that it's a wrapper does not justify not using it. There ARE
things in Python that surely do not exist in MEL.

I do not recommend maya python.
It's just a wrapper for mel commands.
And no, there is no match transform without scripting.

Thanks for the responses. Yes I should pick up a MEL book (and
probably will in the next week or so) but I was just wondering if it
was just in the software somewhere I couldn't find. I appreciate the
help a lot.
Thanks for the code samples as well. Are they Jscript? If so doesn't
maya only run MEL and Python?
