Derived from mel command maya.cmds.sceneUIReplacement

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.mel as mm
gMainPane = mm.eval( 'global string $gMainPane; $temp = $gMainPane;' )
pm.sceneUIReplacement( update=gMainPane )
# Result: u'1' #

# Try to find the modelPanel named Top View
pm.sceneUIReplacement( getNextPanel=('modelPanel','Top View') )
# Result: u'modelPanel1' #
pm.modelPanel( 'modelPanel1', q=True, label=True )
# Result: u'Top View' #

# Try to find Front View
pm.sceneUIReplacement( getNextPanel=('modelPanel', 'Front View') )
# Result: u'modelPanel3' #
pm.modelPanel( 'modelPanel3', q=True, label=True )
# Result: u'Front View' #

# Is there another Front View?  (No: all we find is a model panel called Persp View)
pm.sceneUIReplacement( getNextPanel=('modelPanel', 'Front View') )
# Result: u'modelPanel4' #
# Result: modelPanel4
pm.modelPanel( 'modelPanel4', q=True, label=True )
# Result: u'Persp View' #
# Result: Persp View
