Optionally sets a new Menu Mode for the menu bar in the main Maya window. Returns the current Menu Mode, and if a new one is specified, then the previous Menu Mode is returned.

import maya.cmds as cmds
# Use the "Rendering" Menu Set, and at the same time get the one currently used.
prevMenuMode = cmds.setMenuMode('renderingMenuSet')
# Print the current Menu Set: "renderingMenuSet".
print( cmds.setMenuMode() )
